Great job, I really need one of these. I like the idea of the bolt for indexing, and locking everything in place, last thing you want whilst working on a job is everything trying to swivel away from you.
Great job. Newly subbed to your channel now. My shop is in about the same shape and needs some ingenuity in organization. I'm just now to that step and it's good to see others at my stage of the game.
Hi again Dave, i have a new chance to set up my shop from scratch & i'll be stealing every idea i can use. If interested try building a Christmas carousel or ferris wheel, you have all the skills. They are fun & everyone loves them!😊
I forgot to mention it in the video but I attached opposing blocks on the base and the carousel so that it can only make one complete turn. Jeremy Fielding's idea.
nice job! Let me just ask one thing that has been in my mind throughout the video - why would you willingly use flathead screws? they are pain in the butt to work with
Thanks! For most of the construction I used deck screws. The only flat head screws used were for the roller bearings. If I recall correctly they were the only pan-head type screws I had on hand at the time. You're right. They are a pain.
I have used swivel casters in place of the roller balls & it is so much quieter. Actually i have swivel casters on most of our furniture too to save the flooring. Wife likes to drag stuff all over!😁
The center pipe is 4" PVC allowing power cords to be run into the cabinet (Got that one from Jeremy Fielding) I put the scroll saw on a raised platform. Can't recall other changes, I think they were pretty minor. The top discs are 40" in diameter.
Suggestion. Rotating stand. Cut out only what you need of the right triangle in the disks to access the rollers. Mount small box for 'once in a while used' for the tools above tools/accessories, a few pull out pegboard panels for squares, protractor angle cut jig out flat mark-up tools/jigs. Pivot-out tall triangle bank of pullout drawers. Pull-out triangle box chest of drawers and more. Top disc can be a larger diameter, a few inches, like 6, adds a lot of 'set it down ' space, holes/hooks for tool hangers. PVC pipe to supply dust hose accest all tools from behind, increase pipe diameter as required, use of pipe diameter reducers, flanges...........
Woodworkers can not abide a unused volume, especially a non-cube shape, allowing many opportunities to get creative. Good greatly customize the base unit for specific fields of work, scale up, scale down for large crafts to large model making, tool enters. Glue and assembly table. Many uses for a large rotating table that can be 'tucked away' with unlimited storage configurations.
I forgot to address this in the video, but I mounted a power strip to the inside of the base with the cord running out of a hole drilled in the back leading to an outlet. Cords from the tools run down the center pipe to the power strip. I also installed a block on the underside of the rotating top that meets another block on the base. This insures that the top can only turn one full revolution and won't twist the cords. I got this idea from Jeremy Fielding - th-cam.com/video/Fj2BL9E0hio/w-d-xo.html
Your dating your self with the meanies, and Pack-man. Nice build, how is the "work piece" flow around the machines, do you clearance at work machine to work on long or odd size projects?
Thanks. I have really enjoyed just having all these tools out and ready to go. There haven't been many issues with clearance.The drill press and the scroll saw are the only tools bolted down (opposite of each other) so I can move the others as needed. Not worried about dating myself, my geriatric status is pretty obvious ;)
Great stuff! And great video editing, and humour! Thank you. Forgive me for my newbie question, but why cut out that "Pacman's mouth" (read, 90° cutout) when you can just turn it around and gain access to whatever is stored, that way? Is there something I am overlooking? Keep up your great work please.
Thank you very much, Isa! Honestly, I was just following the original plans when I made the storage shelf. You could leave the shelf round, but I have found the cutout leaves space for my feet as that corner is where I position each tool for use. Without it, It is very possible that I could kick or step on the shelf. I've been known to be clumsy;)
If you place plywood sides on the notches, when they line up the area underneath would be closed in. That would keep sawdust from coming in. It's a just like a lazy susan corner cabinet in a kitchen.
The notch gives you a place to stand. Also, you could add plywood so that when the notches line up, the plywood keep sawdust from getting in. Just like a lazy susan as a corner cabinet in a kitchen.
Best Shop Tool Carousel I Have seen!..
Wow Dave. I'm just discovering this now. This is a really cool project. Greetings from Germany.
Great job, I really need one of these.
I like the idea of the bolt for indexing, and locking everything in place, last thing you want whilst working on a job is everything trying to swivel away from you.
Fantastic work..
Just what I needed to see at the right time. Gonna build this for the church maintenance shop I am working on at the present.
That's great! Glad it's helpful.
Good job.. Nice organizer..
I want one..
the PAC-MAN reference just earned you a sub! Carousel looks great!
Thank you!
Great job! I like the pin lock to keep the tools from moving during use.
Excellent build video, crisp and clear narration. Thanks
Great idea and one hell of a space saver.. Well done !
I liked the spring hold down on the tablesaw fence. Pretty cool!
What did you do about the rotating top and the electrical box that rests on the post?
Shop organization projects are my favorite. Project looks awesome!
Thank you. More organization stuff coming.
This is an excellent video. Thank you for the details.
That's the exact same face I make when I walk into my tiny shop 0:16 haha
Awesome video! I've been wanting to build one of these for a while.
Me also. I'm constantly moving tools around.
Great job. Newly subbed to your channel now. My shop is in about the same shape and needs some ingenuity in organization. I'm just now to that step and it's good to see others at my stage of the game.
Thanks, Scott!
Excellent. How exactly did you center the hole template after pre cutting the starter hole?
Very well built. Congratulations!
Coolest push stick ever!!!
Hi again Dave, i have a
new chance to set up my shop from scratch & i'll be
stealing every idea i can
use.
If interested try building a
Christmas carousel or
ferris wheel, you have all the skills. They are fun &
everyone loves them!😊
Thanks, Mike. I am all about Christmas. I'm not sure I'll get to those projects. But you never know.
Beautiful idea. I must incorporate this into my collective.
Put the cord for your router over your shoulder from the back. It'll keep the cord from getting in the way all the time. Love this idea...
How do you keep the cords from getting tangled?
I forgot to mention it in the video but I attached opposing blocks on the base and the carousel so that it can only make one complete turn. Jeremy Fielding's idea.
I like it! I like it a lot!
That’s a great idea, thanks for sharing!

Those Blue Meanies push sticks are the thing, man. Right out of the Yellow Sub.
I have used swivel casters
in place of the roller balls & it is so much quieter.
Actually i have swivel casters on most of our
furniture too to save the flooring. Wife likes to drag
stuff all over!😁
I love this concept but how will you keep the wires /cords from twisting when you keep turning the top?
Pat M Thanks. I should have covered it in the video, but I put stops between the carousel and the cabinet. The carousel can only make one full turn.
Jeremy Fielding has a video that tells how to keep wires from getting twisted.
Good video Dave.
You said you made changes to the original plans. Do you know what those changes were? And, what are the dimensions of this carousel? Thanks

Probably not going to add much more to it at this stage. Although the triangle drawers are a good idea. Thanks!

bloody good idea!
How did you run the power? I want to make this, but I don't want to run extension cords everywhere.
I forgot to address this in the video, but I mounted a power strip to the inside of the base with the cord running out of a hole drilled in the back leading to an outlet.

@@DaveHarshberger thank you. I love this design.
i particularly enjoy the cartoon shark push stick.

Jeremy Fielding on youtube did this 3 years ago. Nice copy.
He not only mentions that but he also links Jeremy's video in the description.
what are the dimensions of the top circle?
That is magnificent!!!
Obrigado pela grande ideia. Parabéns. Tanks for great ideas. Congratulations.
Awesome job! Looking forward to the next project maybe its a fireplace mantel(hahaha) cause I need some Ideas on that...lol
Thanks. Don't see a mantel in my future, but hope to put up some other good stuff. :)
Brilliant and very useful, thank you.
Love the Blue Meanie push stick. LOLz Don't know how many others noticed, but I did. Beatles fan, eh?
Thanks! Very much a fan.
Very nice. I was already planning my pac man comment. Thanks!
The Blue Meanie was my favorite
Hahaha, the journey of a thousand miles begins with cutting a lot of plywood.
That's awesome
sdmcustom woodworking Thank you.
The noise of those roller balls is sooo annoying. Can't you float on air bearings instead? ;)
Wery useful idea! Thanks:)
Excellent! thnks
Great stuff! And great video editing, and humour! Thank you.

You should be on tv with your voice man
Very nice video, but the Blue Meanie got you a sub.
MrToolhunter A yellow sub perhaps? Seriously, thanks so much. Checked out your channel. Subbing you back.
Lol nice push stick
I would make the platform inside the cupboard round, giving an extra 25% of storage surface.
The notch gives you a place to stand. Also, you could add plywood so that when the notches line up, the plywood keep sawdust from getting in. Just like a lazy susan as a corner cabinet in a kitchen.
Anyone has a copy of shipmates #35 they would like to sale? Or a copy of the plans for the tool carousel i could get?
