Something I whipped up that last couple days, was just going to hang it by the bench and if need to be handy set it on it, I thought it maybe tipsy, but all said and done sits on the bench fine.

Bob, since I've had a few 10 E models, I've gotten the tailstock and ext table bracket for them. (Never got the extension table, and the rip fence attachments, just the bracket.) I mounted the E tailstock on the left (head) end, and screwed a piece of plywood to the bracket, with holes in it, to hold my lathe chisels. Ugly as homemade sin, but it worked, and the lathe tools were right there.

Oh, if you didn't know, the tailstock, and the extension table will mount on either end. If you have 2, mount them on both ends, for sawing large pieces of plywood. (If you're brave or crazy enough to cut full pieces of plywood on a Model 10!)

Nice job. My chisels are in a leather roll up in a drawer. A rack like yours would be a lot handier.

Thanks guys, first they are not lathe chisels, I just set them on the SS table for 2 reasons, I had a better back ground, and to have one of the ERs in there so you dont think I am just an ER wanna be. Drawer Gene???? I dont know if I posted the pics here a few weeks ago, I made a WW workbench 6x2' and 4 drawers stacked on one side of the bottom, and a cabinet with 2 pull outs on the other side, planned for stuff I wanted right there underneath me, already full!!!
When I get into lathe turning this winter, I have some plans for a lathe chisel rack that sits on the support tubes of a MV, but obviously wont work on the ER I am going to dedicated for that. I have seen pics where they put drawers under the ER wood base, or a tool cart next to me.
On an other note, GFGM here, there has been a mint condition ER on CL for 250 here, with speed changer, all the stuff plus some ER SPTs, for 250, last night it down to 75!!!! Gone this morning, the guy cleans out houses for old people when 4 sale after death or need to go to the "home", and dropped the price after a week to get it out of his already over flowing garage. I did not jump on it for 250 at first because not in the budget till the first. #$%^&@
Plywood sheets!!!! I only cut a 4x8' on horses with a guide and hand held saw!!! Usually I only by them precut in 4x4 or 2x4 because I can get them in that POS BMW and easier to handle and saw at home.

Stop buying SS stuff and get that Ford F150 you need!

Mine are stored in random places in randomly located buildings around town.
