Show us your tool rack/cart

[Manny Yabar]

Here is mine. It's a craftsman tool box. I mounted boards around the outside in a sort of 2 step staircase. I drilled holes in the boards to fit specific tools. It holds about 70 tools. I have my hollowing bars in the drawers along with chucks, tool rests and all sorts of other stuff. I have a magnet on the wall behind the tool chest that holds some larger more cumbersome tools and my captured bar system.

awesome idea

I don't have 1/2 the tools John does ..........

with me, pegboard wall holds chucks & larger accessories, and 500w halogen backlighting
cabinet holds lathe, all turning tools used on regular basis are in plastic tubes mounted to back, with another 500w halogen light lighting front of work......
top & bottom drawers hold lathe accessories, middle 2 drawers hold turning tools not used all too frequently (hollowing, etc.)

the base of cabinet raised to accommodate my stance needed because of bad back.

I've switched much of my exercise program to dumbells....once in the morning, and once in the evening:

I've created several platform configurations to help with certain conditions.....sure is handy when you need it!

Note: Since switching to a new lathe, there is only one new platform. The rest have been adapted to a different distance between the bedways.

I just put these up. I don’t have as many tool as most of you (yet) but just put up studs and paneling on the cement wall of the shop. I’ll add more storage for chucks and other stuff soon.
