Show me where you keep your milling / lathe tools!

Well, yeah in grade school the nuns made us use fountain pens while learning cursive! (He says showing is advancing age....) And the typewriter is a IBM Selectric, and early one best I can tell. There is one obviously broken part in it for which I found a replacement on Ebay. Now I just gotta figure out how to install it....

I thought it was an early IBM selectric. pretty stout machines.

Bunch of Rousseau cabinets for milking machine and drill. Lathe in Lista by the lathe. Smallish garage - so I make due.

Maybe ask the eBay seller, he had to get it out of there somehow unless it's NOS.

That’s a really nicely organised setup you have there.

I’ve been convinced by all of the pictures of organised tool chests on this thread that that’s what I need. I have a 6 draw tool chest at the moment and have another smaller benchtop tool chest on order as well as some draw organising tubs. I’ll post some pics when I have it all sorted and figured out.

I never cease to be amazed at the wide range of skills exhibited by the participants of this forum. Imagine it. A milking machine in a garage shop!!

FWIW

I built a couple of mobile tool storage cabinets from hard and soft wood scavenged from the skid and pallet that Matt so kindly supplied with my lathe.

This one has fold-up shelves -- providing more area to clutter up.

Lots of room for collets.
.
This one is also mobile, but pretty much stays in one place.

We have a "You Suck!" banner for guys that score a deal.
Is it appropriate to use for work made from scrap done by members that exceeds what we would have the patience to do by such a large margin that it isn't even feasible? Because, in that case, these toolboxes would really suck.

very nice shots - question- are you rehabbing those 6 Wilton bullet vises? Holding them for ransom? Nice collection there but scratching head why they are on a light duty cart. I'm afraid it could fall over. I have an old 6" Wilton bullet just like those, was my dads. You can buy a Bridgeport for what a good bullet will bring on ebay.
