Hi,

If you have access to Woodsmith #185 they have an interesting lathe tool caddy. It may not be what you are interested in but maybe you can find some parts of it that you can use in your design.

For those of you who have this issue it right up in the front just a few pages in.

Wish I could post a picture for all to see but I don't own the issue.

Here is that tool caddy:

yeah it does, is this a bad thing? i normally just wipe them off after i sharpen

I just got that issue today and was really impressed with that general design. I will probably add a lot more holes in the upper disc and instead of the shallow holes in the lower disc I would use a disc of low density shoe sole crepe for the tips to sink into. Most of us would probably make little changes to suit our own use but I thought the general design is a great idea.
