Acrylic Lathe Tooling Cabinet

[old_toolmaker]

I built this lathe tooling cabinet for my mini lathe accessories. The cabinet is made from 1/2" green acrylic sheet which has the appearance of plate glass. One shelf is fixed, some are adjustable with pegs in holes, and three have full extension drawer slides. One of the full extension drawer slides has pockets to hold a full set of ER-32 collets. One of the pictures shows my shop mascot keeping watch over me This piece of shop furniture is very handy and is a way for me to keep my lathe accessories organized and clean.

Great idea Dick, I made a cabinet years ago but used wood, its lick a black hole in there and I sometimes have to use a torch to find things your idea is much better.
Well done.

rossbotics,

Thank you, Doug! I think your idea for displaying all your homemade tools in a cabinet like this is great. The nice thing about it is it's "see through" feature. You can view your past projects from all sides.

olderdan,

Thank you!
I know what you are saying. Wood is beautiful for sure, but hard to see through.
