Quick and dirty Dickson T3 tool rack

[Smouser]

I have always kept my Dickson T3 tool holders in a drawer but it was becoming a pain to get them in and out the whole time.

I decided to quickly knock up a tool rack that could sit on the backsplash of the lathe with stuff I had lying around.

Cut some angle iron into pieces.

Mock up to get the approximate spacing.

I then welded the angle iron onto a piece of flat bar.

A little warpage

Good enough.

Quick spray with some random aerosol I got on an auction once just to prevent rust. Bronze.

Tool holders 'installed'.

That's beautifully simple and effective. I can't be the only one saving this to steal/copy
