Storing Chucks and Jaws
Yes, getting to be a problem and I only have 2 chucks and not all the jaws yet.
I've been thinking about my tool storage problem. Turning tools, chucks, jaws, all the other pieces.
I'm considering a round solution. After all, I'm supposed to be able to turn. So when I get around to it ...
Top will be a cylinder. Plywood top and bottom with 2 middle levels. It will have matching holes drilled in the top two or 3 pieces. Spaced to hold the short tools through 2 levels or longer tools through three. Spindles will hold the ply together at the appropriate height. Tools suspended from the handle on the top level with the end suspended, not resting on the cutting edge.
Perhaps placing a lazy susan spinner under it later.
For now it will rest on the table that is behind me at the lathe. The tools rest on top of the table now. Worked when I had 1 skew, 1 spindle gouge, 1 bowl gouge and a couple of scrapers and a parting tool. Now I have more and need a better solution.
Ultimately I would like it to rest on the top of a chest. Drawers with French Fitted liner. That way every piece of equipment has a place and then maybe I have a chance to keep every piece of equipment in its place.
Now to think on making round drawers and a round chest to hold them. I have the walnut.
