Boring bar holder

I have a few of those older BB holders downstairs . Wondering if anyone uses these things any longer ?
 
I was planning to make several for the different size boring bars that I have until I made my QCTP.

Yes, I do, but I built one for use with small bars - 6, 8, 10, and 12mm. (And it's no where near as nice as Kurt's.)
 
Very nice. I am still a little confused on how you made this. If you are going to be make another for your new lathe, can you update this thread with progress pics?

Thank you, the stop is actually a Craftsman/Atlas item. I have since sold that lathe to a friend and now have a 12" Craftsman, so I need to make a new boring bar holder for it.

Very impressive shop. You should be proud. I like new machinery, but I prefer good “older” equipment. I recently picked up this 101.21200, with base, and extras at an auction. The base has a top made from 14” channel mounted on 1/4” x 2 1/2” angle legs. Stand alone weights 185lbs.! After I got it home and cleaned the rust protectant from everything. I see no evidence whatsoever that the lathe and accessories were ever used! It appears I have a brand new 1973 lathe.

Wow....nice clean and well organized shop. Unfortunately...I have accepted the fact that I am a pig. At some point... we all must look in the mirror and accept reality.
(Too bad... too many people, today live in an alter reality of internet alter reality. They think that if they take a selfie and say something which they know is a lie.... that it’s no longer a lie. It’s a world of altered online realities. )

anyway....I’m okay with my shortfalls, yet I can appreciate others who surpass me in those areas I am deficient. You really have a very, very nice shop Kurt.
 
Wow! very nice shop, But it's pretty easy to keep things clean and tidy when you have a washer and dryer right there to throw all your tools and machine parts into. ;) Cheers, Mike
