On-board storage added to SS w/pics

Post by kaba »

I posted this as an addendum to another post of mine in The M & R section but will add it here also. I added some on-board storage to the SS as below:

The box to the left is for Lathe Accessories. it contains my tail stock, tool rest, centers, and an old set of chisels my father left me twenty years ago.
In the center is a box to hold my drill press accessories. It contains drill bits, chuck and key, and a circle cutter.
On the right is just a block of wood that I drilled to hold my saw blade arbors.

ImageI can remove any one of these as needed.

When not needed these all store snugly in the leg braces I'd added earlier. I also added a jig that securely holds my saw fence when not in use on the left. The top of the boxes, when in their storage location, also create a little shelf.

The Blade Insert is missing in this photo because it is being painted.

Kaba, what material did you use for the leg braces? I like those. Steve:)

Those are 1X3" channel aluminum. They were actually part of a portable wall partition they were getting ready to throw in the dumpster at work.

From a fellow trash-hound, may you have much success recycling!

Exactly, the drawers I made also came from a bookshelf they had thrown away. Most of it was 3/4" birch plywood.
