A lot of the work you will do on your lathe is
going to be 8" or less. This leaves a spot on
the end of your bed to store some of the tools
you use most frequently. I made mine so I could
lift it off easily when it got in the way. Use
your own imagination here on what you want to
store. You could use just about any material. I
made mine out off some scrap melamine faced
particle board. For some unknown reason, when I
turn a piece of scrap into something useful, I
like it even better. After 14 years of use,
it's still running.
It's a good idea to leave yourself reminders
that can save you some time and material down
the road. I use a piece of tape and scratch a
little note on it to "remind me" of something
that's out of the ordinary. Doesn't take a lot
of time to do it and can save a lot in the
future. I like to write material compositions
several places for future reference.
