I’m a rookie turner, with my first lathe. I don’t have much room in the shop so everything is mobile. I got tired of misplacing or dropping my most frequently used turning tools so I built this retractable tool holder/caddie. It nothing but two pieces of wood in an “L” shape with 1.25 inch holes in it. All mounted on a full extension drawer slide that is screwed to the side of the lathe cart. Really happy with the result. When I’m turning, it stays fully extended for quick and easy access. When done, it gets pushed back, out of the way.
