Turning Tool Storage Rack

[oldhudson]

Even though I’ve been a woodworker since the late 70’s I’ve never done much turning. You know the old saying, “Life is like a roll of toilet paper, the closer you get to the end the faster it goes.” And with that in mind I decided I’d try to turn some bowels. Because I’ve never spent much time turning, my tools were buried and hard to retrieve. So I decided I need to make an organizer for the them.

There is no shortage of folks making tool racks on YouTube, but they all seemed to be wall mounted. I wanted something on wheels. My shop is very small and I have no wall space. And when not in use I can wheel them to a staging area. Thanks for reading.

nice idea,  portable lathe tool rack. It keeps them vertical.

Right now my lathe tools are laying down on a shelf, taking shelf space.

 

There must be an auto spell going on Bowels vs bowls.  Especially when toilet paper was mentioned. So much for A.I.

I need toilet paper for one,  and need a sharpener for the tools for the other. 

There was another post about bowels in reference to bowls.

Very nice!  Compact and convenient.  

You did the right thing with protection on those sharp cutting edges.  But I prefer to store mine with the cutting edge down for safety purposes.
