Cleaning the Workshop - Page 32
Tools and tool rests and finish, oh my!
| From the bottom shelf comes mineral oil, vegetable oil and a small bottle of the two mixed 50/50. I get the mineral oil by the gallon from a store that supplies it to racing horse owners. It is a lot cheaper than drug stores. |
|
| The next shelf has various tool rests for the lathes, both commercial and made for me by a welding friend. |
|
| These rubber snake wrenches are great for removing stuck face plates and the like. There is no danger of scarring the metal with them. I have a few brass brushes around the shop. The brass does not cause rust stains on wet wood. |
|
| The box drawer is handy for holding bits and pieces. The pipe is used to hold 1/2" tool bits for sharpening in the jig. They are used in my big roughing tool. |
|
| On the top live my Oneway 4 jaw chuck and various tail stock and headstock centers. They fit into the 3/4" holes drilled into the top. |
|
| I drilled a few more holes into the top to make things a little neater from here on. |
