Lathe Tool Holder

Project by Passion4Wood posted 332 days ago 440 views 2 times favorited 7 comments Add to Favorites Watch

I didn’t have anywhere to store my lathe tools, so I decided to build a carousel that will hold 16 tools. I used a mic stand and some scraps from the scrap bin. An old skateboard wheel allows the holder to spin.

Awesome idea : ) I was just using my lathe yesterday and was wishing that I had somewhere to place my tools other than back in a drawer ….Thank you for a great idea !

Napaman:
Some of them are shopsmith tools that I got when I purchased a shopsmith back in 1984. All the newer tools are Crown Pro PM.

Excellent idea! I have a metal music stand which is now going to be put to good use. I’ll probably use wooden dowels for the uprights, but that’s just because I’m handy with wood and I have so much of it :)
