ran out of PVC pipe, but here's the start of my tool rack. Loads of room for expansion.
I'm planning on turning the lathe 90° to the wall so those won't be over the ways when I'm turning, just are until I get things situated.
and 'Shelob' came to visit as well

Looking good Ned, but if Shelop popped it's head around me I would of beat it with every tool you've got hanging up

Each to his own if it works & you like it that's what counts it does look good. I like simple... a wood strip with sockets drilled by a forstner bit & magnetic strip.

If Shelob stayed out of my way he could live in my shop. If he got in my way and I could catch him, he/she/it would get caught in a jar and dumped on a bush some where outside where he would stand a chance at living on.
That is a neat turning tool rack. I used PVC to make mine also. That is also a very neat spider web, they can be so beautiful.
Enjoy,

Shelob has a couple of friends as well, but they're out of arm's reach (though not board reach) and until I get things all closed in, I doubt that I'm going to win any 'battle' with them. Originally Posted by Bob Gibson

Thanks Bernie, it's admittedly a small step, but an important one. Originally Posted by Bernie Weishapl

Simple and effective works. Originally Posted by Bart Leetch
