I have had a issue in my shop around my lathe of where to place things while working. I have had a few ideas, but I really had not found the solution yet. Well today as I was cleaning a few things off my wire shelves above my shop sink where my bowls dry I thought to myself, self... that wire shelf might be nice behind the lathe. So I tested a length and then off to Wally world in the CJ to buy a 4" section. (Tell ya what, thats a cold ride with the top off!)
This is great for a shelf!! The chips fall right thru it and it fills the gap behind my lathe just perfect. Now there's a spot to stick my jigs and what not as well as my calipers or a lathe tool if I need to set it down..
PS.. yes, I did pull the end off the cord to run it thru the rack!!
And yes.. I know... I STILL have not replaced the wood under the lathe. Soon, soon I tell ya!
