Default Das Lathe Bench

Already did a chisels and gouge holder which is
also a carrying case. Sits on the floor to the
right of the bench. It puts the top of the handles
where they can be gotten to without bending over.

Am also thinking about down angling tubes on
the side of the right side of the bench

Am seriously considering putting the Tormek on a shelf
on the left side of the bench, with a drawer for the
jigs. Having there will increase the likelyhood that
I'll sharpen a tool as soon as it loses its edge rather
than continuing until it gets really dull.

Have to figure out how to get it up high enough to
use easily, but protected from flying chips and
curlies which stream off of turned wood, especially
when turning green wood or all the bark chunks
that fly all over hell.. The simple solution would
be to use the bright yellow canvas cover Tormek
has - but that would be too easy.

Goose neck high intensity lamps are small so
they don't get in the way much and can be
positioned better than the two arms with
springs. Think I'll skip the halogen overhead,
too hot. Cold isn't often a problem in the
San Francisco Bay area - for which I'm
most grateful.

More suggestions?
