Hello! I'm fairly well a newbie here, so my apologies if there's a better spot for me to be posting this, or an obvious gallery that I'm totally missing. I actually joined back in November when I decided to go all in and invest in a full size lathe (the Nova Orion) which due to worldwide shipping issues only just last week was finally delivered.
Anyway, now that I've a very nice upgrade to the shopsmith fueling some creativity here, I'm thinking it is time to put something together to organize my many chisels and maybe faceplates/chucks/keys as well. I'd love to see what folks have done near their lathe that has worked well for them!
I've some blank wall behind my lathe, so while I'm likely to go wall mounted, I'm interested in seeing carts or whatever else as well. I figure it only seems fitting to turn the crate that the new lathe was delivered in into some sort of shop organization accessory. And after finding someone selling a bunch of chisels and other stuff recently (their lathe was stolen from their shop but their loose tools left behind, go figure), I've now officially entered "too many" chisels territory and need to get organized.
So please, share your organizational ideals! I'm sure that just about anything is better than my 'loose pile under the router table' approach!
