Sorry, I don't have a drawing of this. It's kind of 'throw it at the wall and see what sticks project'. I made a couple of others all pw to try things out before i moved to the cherry.

The stock, except for the tray was about 1/2". It was about 10.5" tall. Front to back 5" and side to side 4.5". The angle for the baffles was 30°. Rabbet joint for the 4 corners. The baffles are just glued in place in a shallow dado. I used Titebond Molding glue and held it in place for a few minutes. The tray is 1/4" stock, with finger joints and the bottom of the tray was 1/8" PW.

The tray really needs to be as long as the tower is high, so I'll be making that over.

Hope this helps.
