Show me your tool rack

[phil harold]

With all the different racks and storage systems of the members here in billions of threads is there a way we can post all the pictures of racks in one thread? and make it a sticky?

There is so many good ideas for lathe tool storage to research before building one,
but the amount of threads to search thru is daunting...


thanks for all the help

here is my version

STEVE???

This is a GREAT IDEA!

Might be good to do the same thing with shop pix... Just pictures, perhaps with links to appropriate threads???
(I know, it would be a lot of work, but what a lot of help it would be for all)

Mine can be seen here, taken from Don Orr who took it from???

This would be great. It can be daunting sometime using the search functions. You end up with so many threads that, while contain useful info, its just not the info really wanted at this point in time.

And Scott - I know this is an older thread, but do you actually spend much time turning, or do you just spend it buying tools?

[David Hostetler]

ENVY!!
Scott, you have more turning tools than the Woodcraft store in Houston!
I'm serious, next time I'm in there I will point them to this post, maybe
they will stock up a bit after seeing it .

I think he has more turning tools that Rockler, and BOTH Woodcraft stores in Houston!

I was warned about the slippery slope, but that is evidence of not sliding in, but rather diving in head first...

I'd show my tool storage, but Scott already posted a similar pic. Nothing to brag about. All I have is a set of the PSI HSS tools, the stuff that came with my lathe, and a few layout tools... Not even a chuck yet... Next pay period I hope... Since LOML and I are down to 1 income for now, I have to pace myself better with workshop buildup supplies...

FWIW, I took and reglued the lousy box that came from PSI into a tight fitting case. I may or may not actually sand it and finish it... Most likely not. My layout tools are on a set of wall mounted small parts cabinets.. As are the faceplate, spanners, knockout bar etc... from the lathe.

GREAT IDEA, CY!
Hoiw about a few more shots or even some plans to put one together for myself...
Thanks in advance

How did you mount the pvc onto the lateral board?

[Richard Madison]

You guys have WAY too many tools, and some inconveniently located. Here's an alternative. There's another rack at other end of lathe for centers, drill chuck, etc.

[Clint Schlosser]

I wish I had a real lathe, sigh...

[Scott Hackler]

Heres my version. I wanted a shelf to add a few things I am always using.

Here's mine - it took an afternoon to put together. Note that I have cane tips over the really sharp/pointy tools. It's on 4 swivel casters so I can easily move it wherever I want.

Hi,
This is my tool rack with magnetic strips. I drilled 3/4 in holes in the bottom "shelf" for the handle ends to drop into to keep them from slipping. Never had one fall, and it takes both hands to remove the Sorby Multi Tip if I place the flat side against the magnet. It is only one step to the right to reach it while turning and is an incentive to put the last tool away.
I do like a lot of the other ideas but have limited space.
Mike
