How do the rest of you store your lathe tools? I am looking for ideas and inspiration. I don't have any more wall space available, so that is not an option. I currently have them on a shelf which rests on the bottom part of my lathe, but that gets to be cumbersome, and I wind up laying my tools on my table saw that is right behind me when I am in the middle of a project. I don't like that either, because it is too easy for them to roll off. Thinking of some kind of a turntable or rack mounted to the end of my lathe, but I also don't want to block the bed in case I want to take the tail stock off and slide something else up there. Rockler has a turntable that caught my eye, but it looks flimsy, and had some less than stellar reviews, but that is the basic direction I am leaning. Ideas and pictures would be greatly appreciated.

Checked McFeeley's to see if their 1/1/4" ash dowels were still the most reasonable priced dowels on the market and hey, McFeeleys has changed ownership and don't ever list lots of things they used to sell..including dowels Their 3 foot ash dowels uses to sell for 3.35 each in lots of 50 and were super straight. I have a few more of the 100 I bought from them but now need more. They told me at the time they didn't stock the large sizes for they would be straighter leaving it up to the supplier to keep and send only the straight ones to McFeeley's customers... Shucks!!

Tossed some pieces from a couple pallets together a long time ago... Sitting on a slab of drywall, outside the old Pole Barn Shop I used to work out of. "Windsor Style" The two piece that arch across the top of the spindles were sawn from one board. Spndles in the middle were NOT turned. Spokeshave and handplaned to shape. Been a LONG time since...

Getting to be a bit crowded, mainly in drills.... And, I had a couple others to add to this pile. There is no room in the brace till for a 14" sweep drill, nor a 10" brace....so Drilled a few 1/2" holes into some 1/2" plywood. turned the holes into slots. Three screws to attach the "rack" Into the overhead beams, er..joists. Don't worry about the "smoke alarm" as it is a defunct one, have a new system in place. Next, start loading the rack up.. That breast drill is on the far end. The four eggbeaters are up there, a Millers Falls Holdall 14 and a Millers Falls 22 are there as well. Best news, they are all above the top of my bald head, by a few inches. Another look? There is also a saw till up there. Cords are the main power to what power tools I have, and.....the overhead light. mainly the yellow cord, orange no longer works. Well, I think there MIGHT be enough drills in the shop?

I'm thinking a lazy susan type rack with the lathe tools leaning inward at about 10 degrees, I'm designing this lazy susan and go t to thinking about what might happen if I spun it fast enough to flip the tools outward. They'd clatter all over the floor and I'd have some grinder work to do I've considered rare earth magnets but I try to avoid magnetizing my tools and that'd do it. Maybe I'll have to bite that bullet. An alternative is to make the base deep enough that the handles would set in far enough that they couldn't fall out but could only be picked up and drawn out of the hole. I'm fishing for ideas

Got this thing almost finished, waiting on the BLO. Second coat is on. Hinges are on have a latch installed on the front.. made a rack to hold the bits in place.. Merely notch some metal angles, then screwed them in place. Test fit to make sure the bits would fit. Old chisel to adjust a couple for width. Drawer liner mesh to cut down on the rattles. Side view. Grain looks decent enough. lid will actually stay opened, on it's own... Got MOST of the bits in there. Will just have to do, for now. Waiting to see how many more coats of BLO I'll need...

Yep, less than ayear old and getting "outdated".... Well, seems I have a few chisels needing a decent home, without bumping into each other. Took out the old tray. WAS going to just flip it onto it's side and cut slotted holes for the chisels to reside in......but, the pine was just snapping off at the holes as soon as I cut a slot...Bummer! Got to thinking, the bottom of this tray is oak. So, drilled a few holes through the 1/2" thick oak, with a dull, smoke the lumber, Forstner bit. Then an old B&D sabre saw to cut slots on either side of the holes. Some were a bit wide. While working on this thing, had it upside down in the vise so I could test fit the chisels as I went along. Once everything was "fitted" , I could empty the rack, flip it over and install IN the Tool Chest #1. I may have to add a few screws to hold it back there. You can see where the pine just snapped out. Now, as for the floor of this older chest. Since the iron bodied ones have their own till now, the woodies went and took over the bottom of this chestalong with a few saws still in their till. There is a Jointah plane, a Jack plane, a Coffin smoother plane, and a HUGE try plane. Saws are just some panel saws, and a backsaw. Had a tote tray to place over all these goodies, too awaiting a few other toys to go into here. There is STILL a 4" wide open space to the front, might have to work on that next... Stay tuned.....

Who We Are
We are a woodworking community with an emphasis on sharing and learning the skilled craft of woodworking and all of its related disciplines. Our community is open to everyone who wishes to join us. We support our American veterans and active duty, being a veteran is not a prerequisite to join. Join us now!
Objective
Of course just like most online woodworking communities we are centralized in the arts, crafts, and trades that are woodworking. But, we have another focus in our Patriot Woodworker community, we are the only woodworking community that was founded on our care and concern for our disabled veterans.
Volunteer
The Patriot Woodworkers are an all volunteer community, from the staff and hosts who run our online woodworking community to the members who frequent our forums, you'll find volunteers in all of us. We are not on a payroll, unless you consider the spiritual rewards gained from volunteering, as compensation.
Education
One of the many projects we are working on is a wiki for our online community. A wiki is a great way for woodworkers and enthusiasts to share their knowledge to others, and to impart their knowledge for others to learn from, and utilize as well for their own benefit. We hope you'll consider being a wiki contributor.
