Lathe tool rack.

[Retired]

Hi,

I think I'll be moping too very soon Colin because I've actually had a taste of summer this year and it now appears to be on its way out? Our cats always liked to be warm and cosy.

I feel very cheered up this morning as I've just come out of the workshop after a positive session installing two more tool racks to the wall behind the lathe and populating them with tools. I've also had a tidy up and gone round with the vac. The next job is to decide on screw storage as I've got a good stock of boxed screws and I want easy access to them.

One of the pictures below can be described as "whoops" I managed to secure the bottom tool support upside down; good job it wasn't glued as well as screwed?

I've cut a plywood backing out to finish the lathe wall off but as yet need to decide what tools are going to be attached to it also I need to sort out the VFD mounting; this needs to be mounted well away from the lathe because VFD's don't like dust; I'll add VFD remote controls to the lathe shortly but so far the workshop is feeling homely.

Kind regards, Col.
