I'm trying to get my turning things organized. I just finished a wall mounted tool rack and am building a drawer unit for under my lathe (I'll post some pics when the drawers are done) So far I haven't come up with a good place to put my articulated arm hollowing rig when it's not on the lathe. I thought I would see what some of you have done. Thanks for helping.

I've got my systems hanging on the wall. Located just off the bottom of the photo I have the captured rest hanging on a couple of hooks.

I'm so glad to see this post. I've been stuggling with what to do with mine. Thanks for the photo, Steve.

Rob, I use a Kelton and a Robust Steady Rest. You can see the brackets on the wall above the white bucket where the Kelton Hollower hangs and I have a bracket on my head wall for the Steady Rest. (See Photos)

Mine is a homemade Jamieson style...typically, it stands in a corner somewhere where it seems to eventually get buried with chips. I did recently find a place for the main boring bar and D-bar, but the rear rest...in a corner...somewhere. Now where did I put that??:confused::p

Almost like it was made for it.

Thanks for that info David........the Monster hollowing system is on my to get shortly list. that would be a good way to keep it away from damage and getting knocked off a nail on the wall.
