And yesterday and today seem to have been my day! After years of thinking about it I finally got off the dime, ordered a small rolling tool cabinet and built a mobile tool cart. My tools have long been on the wall over the lathe, and every time I've reached for one over the turning lathe I've had that little thought, will this be the time that I'll catch some piece of clothing and have a disaster. With the cart I can pull it out to be next to or behind me while I'm working and then roll it up against the wall to get it out of the way when I'm not. Getting the tools off the wall opened up a lot of good storage space for things I might need to grab when the lathe is off. So today, after a decade of tripping over them on the floor, I came up with what seem like pretty good storage options for my hollowing rig and for the knives for my coring system. Nothing turned, but a feeling of accomplishment nevertheless.
Now the frenzy is upon me, I’ve been discarding tools I haven’t used for 20 years, broken stuff I’ll never fix, and turnings I stopped working on because they were just too bugly to stand I’m sure it will pass soon! (Looking at the background in these pictures suggests I have a lot of work to do!
