Cut and smooth the round carousel bottom (A) and base (B). 2. Drill 1-1/4-in.-dia. holes through the centers of both pieces. 3. Eliminate View Details (C). Use the round carousel bottom as a template for the curved edges. 4. Mark the areas of the shelves on the 2 narrow uprights (D) and attach them.
5. Attach the 2 shelf/upright assemblies to the wide upright (E). Keep in mind: These assemblies need to not be mirror images! 6. Attach the carousel bottom to the finished rack assembly. 7. Fasten the casters to the base (photo at lower left). 8. Connect the 6 feet (F). If your bin is going on an unfinished cement flooring, usage pressure-treated 24 stock for the feet.
Attach the center foot (H) to the base and glue in the dowel (G). 10. Position the base and level it with shims. 11. Anchor the base to the flooring. 12. Drill a 1-1/4-in. hole in the glued-up installing block (J) and secure it to the carousel bottom. 13. Mount the carousel on the base.
Glue and screw the shelf edges (K). Cut them to length after installation. Assembly is easy, since everything is screwed and glued. Stagger the shelves and fasten them to the 2 narrow uprights. Then fasten these assemblies to the wide upright. The carousel rides on casters and turns on a large wooden pin.

I consider it part of my job to answer emails from my fellow woodworkers. Guild members or not, everybody receives a response. Sometimes, I get a concern that needs a really comprehensive response which response in and of itself would produce a good post. That occurred today when a Guild member asked me for recommendations on shop layout.
Obviously, store layout is something that progresses over time and truly comes down to one's individual choices and tool option. But here are some basic guidelines that came to mind; some more obvious than others. If you have some ideas to include, please do so in the comments! 1.
