The link to the picture of my lathe is still good from the auction, 6
years later:

Hey Clark,

Hmmmm....in the photo, there is a tool box suspended under the chip
tray. Looks like a good idea. Is that still there, and if so:
How useful is it?
Does it get a lot of chips inside?
What do you store in it.

Take care.

The lathe came with the tool box attached, and it is still there, but
cleaner.
It hold the manual, boring bars, cutting tools, woodruff keys, etc.
They drilled into the catch pan and bolted on (4) "L" brackets.
Those brackets are also bolted to the tool box. Two steel shipping band
loops also that wrap around the bottom of the tool box to hold it together.
There is enough space under the tool box to slide things under it, like
5 gal buckets of round stock or wooden cradles holding 12" chucks.
