Show us your Home made jigs and racks

[Dalboy]

Going on from the post about tool racks on another forum would people like to share either homemade rack and or jigs they have made to aid them when turning.

I will start off with the chisel racks and a router holder, there is a depth collar which is adjustable by the black star knob but not shown in this photo.

This is just a couple as I have some ideas once I am feeling better as I am a little under the weather at th moment no energy and want to sleep all the time.

Maybe not so much a jig but a lathe protector for finishing or painting works

This is a wall cabinet that I made a while back to house Pro edge accessories & lathe centres etc



This is a similar designed cabinet to hold turning tools



Both shut flush with magnets for catches when not in use

Variable speed controllers. In this country 2nd hand 3 phase motors abound cheap as ,combine a 3 phase motor and a Speed controller ever so more reliable than some of the nasty stuff fitted into lathes. I always buy their bare lathe and control later.@nd hand inline fan mounted above the lathe to atmosphere keeps that dust away.

Do close it when you have selected a tool or just leave it open until project complete.

Great looking cupboards I will eventually make some more. I have marked out the backboard and could not manage that even due to being tom and dick so that will wait until I am feeling 100%

I don’t have wall space so I made this. It’s just held together with wedges. Full up now though so I need something else ...

Depends what I’m turning Derek though on the whole they remain open when Turing.
