Stand for lathe tools

(1/3) > >>

Spurry:
With the forced rebuilding of my workshop due to change of home and county, I thought some reorganisation was in order to locate all the lathe 'stuff' in one place. In the old workshop there was a small shelf above the lathe and the rest was scattered across a long worktop.
I have not seen one to this design before and thought it may be use to others.
It was made from 1" box section and 25x25x3mm angle with water-resist mdf for the shelves. The mitred shelf angle irons were tacked together to form the shelf supports and the whole lot tacked together. First attempt was disastrous, so detacked with the angle grinder and redone. I would like to say it's all square in the vertical plane but there is about 3mm of twist in it.



Frame welded up



Bit of 12mm plate to mount the wheels



Mobile welding bench



Shelves fitted. Hoping the the couple of mm will stop any tools rolling off.



Just need some short m8's for the wheels

Pete,
That looks really great for tooling etc.... :thumbup: :dremel:

But more impressive is the flying area in the background.... :drool: :drool:

That's the reason we moved here. With a bit of luck, the models will be properly unpacked and flown, instead of just gathering dust and rust.
Hope you are still getting a bit of air-time. :thumbup:

Wheels fitted and shelves starting to get loaded up. One thing that is particularly useful is having the 'normal use' drills on the top shelf, right under my nose. With varifocals that's very handy to just look down and have them there.  :)
