Wood Lathe tool holder

[morsa]

This is another project inspired in a woodworking tools catalog (this time from Rocker), and was made in may-2014.

The tray was made in pine wood, and painted with black lacquer; the steel pivot arm was made by reusing a bucket handle, and the clamp is a discarded lamp clamp, with a polyethylene bushing.

The tray is 30 cm Ø, and has 16 holes to hold the most frequently used woodturning tools. The center platform is useful to place lathe accessories, calipers, sandpapers, finishing products, etc. The support swivels in the clamp, in order to bring the holder near work, or to take it out of the way when not in use, and the tray turns in order to choose the tool to use.
