I haven't done a whole lot of turning yet, but with my jet mini, I find
I just stick my tools under the lathe on the tabletop. I think if I ever

laid in a row at angle under the lathe.

Hi John. I certainly do as you do when I'm working. But to have tools
under hand when I don't need them gets pretty cluttered - it's also nice
to put them somewhere so one can clean up without moving tools from here
to there and back to here again.

If you're a new turner just beginning this addiction, I think you'll
eventually end up wanting an out of the way someplace to put the ever
growing and "needed" tools. Keep in mind the ways others are doing it
for when that day arrives.

Tips fer Turnin': Pour your end-grain sealer into a clean, wide-mouth
clothes detergent bottle. The lid makes a handy dipping container for
your brush and the leftovers will drain back into the bottle when you
recap the jug.
