Sliding Calliper Box for under bench mount.

Another nice box. I’m getting the idea that this isn’t the last one.

Will be for a while… I have a deadline of 16th. for a more important task.

Also, wouldn’t call it nice, but would call it practical.

Impressive, love your approach very practical and well built. Sure it may seem like a small item and overkill to others but the reality is you use this tool enough and have a need to have conveniently located.

While I do not have the laser and all that to make one as cultured looking as this one, I am motivated to make one for my caliper as well. Have to consult my stash and find the home, then get to the build.

-- Live to tell the stories, they sound better that way.

+1 will you ever make an urn soon? they are popular over at Pottz’s site. With all that talent… but as a fellow woodworker can you agree that sometimes it takes an “urge” to get us going?

Great looking set-up, Just leave yourself a note in the open so you can find it hidden under the bench. Just in case you need it after a few or more brews. LOL. Great job. Mel

You don’t need a laser wbbn... all you need is a tablesaw, a router table or dado set (if you don’t want multi saw kerf passes) and maybe a scroll saw. The laser is an overkill but the design is very basic and could easily by done even without my SketchUp diagrams…
As I said to Dutchy, I don’t think it’s nice but it is practical. In the past, even in the drawer (inside its box) it always managed to work its way to either the back or under any tool sharing the space.

... will you ever make an urn soon?...
- Desert Woodworker

I already urn enough to buy my vino… being cheap vino and me retired, there’s not much incentive for urning.

... can you agree that sometimes it takes an “urge” to get us going?
- Desert Woodworker

I’m all urged out… Back in the late ‘70s, I ventured into turning using a B&D drill (wasn’t even cordless) and their “lathe accessory”... I churned out a bucketload of these items,

for all the ladies in my then “in-law family” and all their countless female hangers on… I no longer get the urge...

Thanks for the suggestion ’52... have taken your advice,

Well I get the impression that this project measures up to all the project criteria precisely

and BTW what are the B&D items?

And dont start me on free knobs, I have a few buckets of them I should get them out and see if they are of interest to you

-- Regards Rob

Neat storage box Alex.

- robscastle

This is what I found on the net Googling ”black and decker lathe attachment”, however, it’s the same as I had, ‘cept I had the orange B&D drill,

That is some engineering feat sir, all those fancy jigs to make this beautiful piece of woodworking art.

C mon crowie doesn t that inspire you to buy a lathe… would be a better excuse for going batty than C19...

Your new logo would look good on the r-send of a bowl.

- LittleBlackDuck

Thanks Eric and Ivan.

Hi Alex. I ll bet Crowie would make some great projects on a lathe!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers, Jim

- Jim Jakosh

Sorry gents, I haven’t the space even for a small lathe.

- crowie

crowie, this has just kaboshed you lame excuse…

Inspirational! Inspired me to reroute the 220 to the table saw. I always unplug when changing blades and such. The plug was behind the saw. So to unplug 30 steps, change blade, 30 steps to plug back in. Moved the plug to the front of the saw. No steps. 60 steps X 22 inch gait divided by 24 inch = 55 Foot walk.
Heped save this old guys hip. Thanks.

You know you could adapt a bandoleer like these to hold enough of those calipers for a few hours work and never loose them…

Even can add accessory attachments in case you end up on the far end of the workshop and need to wet you whistle

Now that lathe is very retro-cool, you could be turning out some Pottz!
