OK, I need some ideas. My lathes have to be moved across the shop (again) and I want to think about storage for the tools, chuck, jaws and all the the other Sundries that end up in the pile. So show me your storage ideas!
These photos show my current set up. When I move them I want to keep them like this. The stand in the back holds my Bowl lathe. I left an area where I could have a table top to work off of. Probem is it collects all the tools and I end up with no work space as I had planned.
The storage underneath is great, but you have to stoop down. So items that are used much like face plates and jaws on end up there. I need ideas for the items that you use often, turing tools, sand paper, chuck key. centers etc. So show me some ideas!
PS I just swept up yesterday before everyone tells me it is too clean. There is a garbage can full of walnut, cedar and pecan shavings sitting there. It had gotten to the point I couldn't stand it. Besides my back was killing me having to stoop over to turn. :rolleyes:
