Marv always points out, and quite rightly so, that it's a bad idea to store items above and behind a lathe on a shelf. I make a point of it not to put anything on that shelf that I might need while the lathe is in operation. That shelf is reserved for the lathe chucks, collets and other accessories that nobody in their right mind would change while the lathe is running. Cutting oil and the files I use while the lathe is in operation is always kept in the front in the coolant tray so that I don't have to reach over to get at it.
hold on to your chairs; it's really ugly
This isn't directed at you, Arnold. I'm just exploiting your thread to alert others about a safety concern.
If I try to organize things then I forget where I put them.
Don't forget your fire extinguisher!
And if she gets interested in making model engines promise you will buy her her own lathe. Sharing a lathe Jo

There's actually some lasses around who express more interest in my engines than most males...

It's a trap. Be very careful. Truer words were never spoken. Any woman who feigns interest in anything automotive, mechanical or mathematical is on the prowl and you're the prey.
Funny how Marv tends to express here what most of us think and aren't game to say. I guess age has a bit to do with thatPete
Is that frankness or is it cynicism? Kim

It's coming along really well Arnold!....Pay no never mind to the detractors....My Anna is a keeper...and she knows she married my shop too. She wouldn't have it any other way.Ask her about lofting the boat on the kitchen/dining room/kitchenette floor with plywood, nails and battens and being requested to not step on it while it was there......for 3 weeks!Like I said....she's a keeper!Dave
Progress has been slow... At least the rack I showed last time had doors added:The one on the right is slightly warped, but it will have to do.
Time to mess it up!
