I am almost done getting my lathe set up. I've used it a few times for rough work and really need a better way to store the accessories I use frequently. Here's the set up:
Back of lathe and front of milling machine. Lathe is bolted to the floor. Mill is on wheels. The power for both is just behind the mill.
Front of lathe. You can see where I put everything now; on the front ledge. This is not a good place. Good thing I wear good shoes!
Another front of the lathe shot. There's a little space on the table, but it's in the way if I open the doors.
I'm looking for ideas for storing stuff. I put much of it in the drawers, but have found that I need to use the chuck key, wrenches and lube all the time. They have a tendency to fall off the small ledge they are on. I thought I'd post and see what others did to get some ideas.
