The hinges on the horizontal door hold the door vertically (closed) very well. I have not yet installed the hardware to keep the door level once opened, though. But I will install it when I do the door and drawer pulls.

For the base of the tool holder, I found a lazy susan bearing at a local store. You can get these in different sizes, to hold larger or smaller loads:

Lazy Susan Bearing

I must try the marbles-in-groove in one of my next projects.  I am sure it work just fine.  Thanks!

I found your website through "the woodwhisperer" and what good timing. I was just looking for inspiration to build some shop-furniture. orienting the door horizontal does give you a lot of access. Do the hinges keep up with the load this way? Here is an idea for making the toolholder revolve (not originally mine though...) make an extra bottom, the size of the original. Rout a round track in the bottom of the original bottom and the same on the top of the extra bottom. make a plywood disk the same size as the bottom, and make some holes on a circle with the same diameter as the groove. insert marbles in the holes and grooves and bolt al three disks together through their centre. Voila, one big bearing the size you want it. makes sense?<BR> <BR>thanks for the great project!</FONT> Nice Project! I found your website through “the woodwhisperer” and what good timing.
