    Part of the master plan has been to do away with my old trusty tool trolly that holds a mile of tooling etc for lathe work.
    It takes up room and even tho it is mobile, with the chucks and tooling as well as stock on the back side it is fucking heavy and a pain to move other than when it is really needed so to move machinery around workshop. Long weekend spending some nights in the shed with a few cold drinks and the odd cupa I have almost finished the mods to the lathe to take some of the load. The hard part with anything like this is never to forget work flow. It took awhile and some head sratching but I think this is a good comperise.

    Just out of curiosity mate are you planning on sealing the edges of the ply ? I'm just thinking it may absorb coolant/ cutting fluid is all....

    Looks good though.

    mate i try not to use that much coolent in the first place, its horid stuff at the best of times...
    the whole thing cost nothing ( ply was was picked of a pallet of off cuts ) and really it is just slaped together. It took longer to work out how to put stuff for ease of use than it did building. So really at the end of the day by the time it is fucked Ill be a old man or have a better way of doing it.... So short answer I couldnt be fucked, if it rots it rots

    Even the smallest things can make like a shit load better
    in a work space. 1/4 hr and some scrap I finally got around
    to building a third hand. There is no set way to make then as
    long as they do two things. Holding pieces in place is the really
    handy bit but it's a really cool earth if built right. It seens unlikely
    but plate dosnt always pervide a clean earth. This one has a brass
    base and silver solder on the tip so it provides a clean earth and no
    marks on the job or the bench.

    Well in anougher case of it's not but who you know.
    I had word out of need for a big piece of plate (2400x900).
    I need a piece that big for the lift jig table.
    While this isn't big enough for that it still is fucking 25mm t1 plate.
    So when asked still want it, well only one answer to give.
    Shane and I trotted off to and picked this out dirt where it had been left in
    for the last god knows how many yrs. A bit of tlc I think it came up great.
    It will become a fixed jig table. I now just have to work out how to drill
    all the fucking taped holes in it lol

    That would have been nice and light to move around! Another score for Lynton. That's a good score card you've got there mate.
