Just a quick one, here’s a tool holder for a small set of lathe bits:

The tools are each in a custom pocket

With spinning machinery there’s no substitute for proper training, but I thought this was useful so that when I come back after a few months.

As always, I try to keep the equipment ready to go at short notice. The lathe has a dedicated tool trolley for all the bits and accessories. I also added an alley key holder and some lighting to the trolley to make it comfortable to use.

The lathe chuck key also has a red ‘remove before flight’ ribbon tied to it.
