"Sorry about the explosion"
Powder Keg:
Well, I've been busy measuring, and sawin, and drillin, and nailin. I have some routerin and sandin and some poundin left. I should have pleanty of toolholder storage. I'm looking to have pictures sometime on Friday\o/
Powder Keg:
Ok, I'm probably out of the shop today because of the Holiday. We have a bunch going on. I'm looking for ideas on file storage I have a bunch of em laying around. I'm thinking of a rack on the wall behind my big lathe. maybe two a bigger one and a smaller one by each lathe?

Thanks guys!!!

Powder Keg, I will resist the temptation about keeping files in a filing cabinet and instead suggest short lengths of plastic pipe chosen for size and length so that the file will drop in with only the handly showing. This allows the files to be fairly casually dropped into their storage without clanging against each other. Make a wooden stopper to fit snugly inside each pipe and use the file to push it down to the appropriate position then fit it there with a screw.
Not my idea but I thought it looked rather neat when I saw it used.

My standard incentive to clean up is when I know I put a the part I'm working on down somewhere but cant find it due to all the flotsam and debris on every surface
Powder Keg:
I've been out in the shop. I managed to get a couple tool holder racks made. Those pins seemed to take forever. I rounded one end and champhered the other end and emeried the rust off of them. The wood is recycled flooring. I haven't decided if I'm going to paint them or not? If I do, I'll wait till they are all done.
I bought one of those throatless shears from HF a year or two ago. I've used it a bit, but not much. The main reason is There's no where to mount it in my shop. When I was building the steady rest for my metal spinning adventures, I thought it would be handy to mount it the same way. The lathe is nice and heavy. It makes a good base for the shear. Now I can cut out circles for my metal spinning\o/
