CHISEL HOLDER - For Wood Lathe
http://www.shopsmith.com/ownersite/p...lder/index.htm
This is geared to a Shopsmith, but easily enough adaptable to other types. Something similar would work well enough on mine, and it only resembles the Shopsmith in the fact that it's a lathe. JOAT It's not hard, if you get your mind right. - Granny Weatherwax |

JOAT It's not hard, if you get your mind right. - Granny Weatherwax Joat... i built a couple of them years ago and the main problem with them is that they get covered with shavings... I built one that went on the top rails but it got in the way.. *g* I've played with a lot of things that didn't work, but something that I use a lot is pretty much like the shopsmith one, but mounted at about a 45 degree angle on an old stand for a roller support... Nice to have near the lathe when you're turning and in a corner somewhere when you're not... Hey Mac, ever consider a rolling cart? I've got a little wire one that works like a charm. Points go down between the wires, chips fall right through, and you can stick other stuff on it as well. Works so well, I never did get around to building one. BTW: will that hold your rasps and planes for turning big stuff? *g* Mac https://home.comcast.net/~mac.davis https://home.comcast.net/~mac.davis/wood_stuff.htm |

Works so well, I never did get around to building one. Actually, I've tried 2, not rolling, though... One was the silverware tray from an old dishwasher, the other the "kids seat" from a trashed shopping cart... both worked ok, but I didn't like the idea of bumping a freshly sharpened chisel against the wire if I missed the opening in the wire a bit... I'm sort of copying one that was in an AAW magazine last year for the new shop.. using short lengths of 1/2" and 1" pvc pipe...

CHISEL HOLDER - For Wood Lathe
I have the HF 1236 (equiv) and I made a rack that fits on the front legs
and will hold (IIRC) 15 tools 'handle up'. I accounted for the shavings fallout by making each tool holder a slot with just a crossar to keep them from falling out. I can run the shop vac over the whole to clear the shavings when they get built up without even removing the tools. BIll |
