FEATURE PROJECT

• that's screwed to the base and a riser block (Q) that positions the barrel bolt in line with the bottom edge of the carousel, see Fig. 13a.

mount tools. Before drilling the holes, you'll want to mount your tools. (I used lag screws.) This way, you can rotate the carousel to the most comfortable working position for each tool. Then drill the holes at the correct locations.

Drawers __

With the carousel complete, I added a set of four drawers. These drawers fit the openings directly below each tool to keep accessories right at hand where you need them.

front & back. To build the drawers, start by cutting a front and back (R) for each one. These

• are 3/4"-thick pieces of hardwood sized to allow an Vg" gap along the sides and top of the opening.

Shallow rabbets in the ends accept the sides of the drawer, see drawing and detail 'c.' And there's a groove in each piece for the drawer bottom, see detail 'b.'

sides. After completing the front and back, you can add the sides (S). These are pieces of V4" hardboard with a notch at the top, see detail 'a.' When the drawer stops are added later, this notch makes it possible to remove a drawer and put it back in.

bottom & cleats. There are just two things left to do to complete each drawer. A hardboard bottom (T) is cut to fit so the drawer can be glued and screwed together. And gluing two hardwood cleats (U) to the bottom and sides provides extra support.

stor Before installing the drawers, I attached four stops

• (V) under the top of the carousel. They keep the drawer from being pulled out too far and accidentally spilling what's inside. 4L
