Help-under lathe drawers?

[Steve Mawson]

I know there have been many posts here on drawers built under the lathe. I have searched now for 10-15 minutes and no luck. I am tired of lathe tools being in 3-5 places so the new year will have a project as soon as I can figure out what I want to build. One tool I thought I had lost-looking for something else couple nights ago and there it was. Suprise-new tool. Any help appreciated and of course MERRY CHRISTMAS. May Santa come down your chimney and visit all you little turning boys and girls-my burl is already on its way from the West Virginia burl Santa.:):D

There is a google group for mustard monster, some plans there under "miscellany"

not the best shot but I'm sure you get the idea.

This is the storage unit I built to go under my monster. You can see that I store my turning tools in sleeves I made from PVC pipe and attached them to the sides and top of the box. Inside the box, I have a few shelves and some removable wooden boxes (bottom right) that I can take out to access when I need them. That way I can have the box that has the bits and things for my monster hollower out and not have to keep opening the door to get them. I got the basic idea from the mustard monster site, but did the fine tuning to fit my personal situation.

Hope this gives you some ideas, Mike

The pinstriping on the box is the best!

Happy Holidays

Steve,Here's what I built to go under/in my Jet 1236. And, of course, I turned the knobs for it. :) I would advise you to layout your "stuff" on a clean surface first so you can decide which things will go or fit into each drawer. Best of luck...........21688921689021689121689221688621688 7216888

One thing I would recommend is not storing commonly used tools in drawers under your lathe. If you need the tool in the middle of a turning, you are guaranteed to end up with shavings in your drawers (no pun intended). They work great for everything else though - chucks, small tools, sanding supplies, calipers, etc.
