Cart for gouges

[Peter Vines]

I needed a storage system for my gouges due to new lathe which doesn’t have underneath storage. I still had a rolling cart from decades ago, built for holding daughter’s music keyboard. It’s a work in progress but seems to have potential and is easily moved.

I have a couple of 4 foot long by 2 foot wide with shelves wire rack things, on wheels. U Line or most big box stores have 16 inch wide ones. I made a plywood top with 3 sides so sharp points don't stick out the back and the tools won't roll off the ends. There is room for storage underneath of other tools, and wood blanks.

Here is a great thread with a similar theme.

I had a similar cart to this one I'm showing below, but let it go. I think I may get this one in a few months, after I have a heartfelt conversation with myself on the nearly complete lack of open floor space in my shop. (That problem will be solved in 5 years!) I have 4 other chests from this same family, sold through Menards home stores. They are very good chests, solidly built with beefy drawer hardware. Better than Harbor Freight's chests, which I did look at carefully at the local store. I'd also build in an extra shelf in the lower open storage area.

Well craptastic. My three Crown Pro-PM bowl gouges are 3" too long to fit in these drawers. I guess I'll have to grind them down to fit...

I mean, I guess I'll have to cut 3" off the end of the handles. They're plenty long, I'll never know the difference.

I made a roll around cart that would hold all of my lathe accessories.

Sorry I don’t know why all of my pictures a posting sideways, this has never happened before.

Sorry one cart would not handle all of mine.
