Thanks for the comments.

It sure beats piling them up on the table next to the lathe like I was doing. Very simple to make. I miscounted my tools and need two more spaces but I will have to add them later. I just won’t put my least used tools up there.

Glad to see someone else using this kind of tool holder. I have 3 in my shop for my lathe tools. (one for each lathe)

very good job.do you need any pegs at the shaft to keep the tools from sliding over?

Doordude it is kinda hard to see in the photo but I took a 1 3/4 forsner bit and rilled a set of holes in a board. I then sawed that board in half which gave me a half a hole on each side. One side faces in toward the tools placed at about 4” to 6” up from bottom and the other I put at the largest point of my longest tool facing out. The half holes hold them straight.

Richard it is a very good system for tool storage.

I got this from Thedane but thanks for the comments.

I have just a couple of weeks ago got the better tools. The old Craftsman tools were ok for the old Craftsman tube lathe but were not long enough for the bigger projects the Powermatic allows me to do. I still use then on smaller projects though. The bowl gouges allow a much better finish on my bowls also. I’m really just learning to use the lathe and watch a lot of videos on turning.

I’m jus an ole country boy trying to have some fun in my retirement years.
