Atlas Lathe tool rack.

It was too windy to work on the garage  roof this weekend.  Did manage to pull off the soffet and facia on the north side.  Uncovered a dozen wasp nests but no live ones.

Sunday I cobbled up a 23 position rack for the lantern/rocker lathe tool holders.  Room to grow.

The stout bit in the clamps mounts to the wall.  The board next to it fits in the slanted dado.





Everything but the wide board has been milled out of pallet stickers from the local lumber yard. 

Gluing the last section to the stack.  Yup that's planer snipe just above the quick clamp.  Another pass through the surface planer will fix.
The stack has been glued to the support and coated with boiled linseed oil.  The mounting holes will be drilled to match the studs.

Woodworking to improve the shop is fun because minor goof's are simply acceptable.  Too a point if it works it is good enough.









As you can see I had trouble with the router fence slipping while cutting the slots.  Maybe stick some sand paper to the fence bottom.




A while back when I made tool bit storage I constructed two units.  The small one works nicely in the drawer below the Atlas.
