How do your store your QCTP Toolholder's?

I used unistrut on the backsplash of my Grizzly G0709 14" x 40". I made a rolling backsplash for my Clausing 5418 12" x 24" and have unistrut on it also. I made brackets from 1/8" thick aluminum; used a Tennsmith stomp shear and DiAcro brake to form the right angle brackets.

My photos of the attachment to the Grizzly are out of date. The one attached shows vertical aluminum to support the 2nd tier. I changed that to unistrut also as with all of the weight up top it'd sway some.

You can see the unistrut under the boring bars. These are bolted to the backsplash; much stiffer than 1/8" flat aluminum plate.

Observation: Unistrut and 80/20 get used a lot by this crew. Both very useful things with lots of brackets and the like available. Electrical supply houses stock all the Unistrut products, so locally available.

Got my idea to use the 80/20 after seeing Bruce's system with the Unistrut. I just happened to have a bunch of 80/20 left over from a previous project. Both are very handy to have around.

Quick and dirty, .030 aluminum bent back and forth.

I got a set of holders from this guy on eBay.
Steve is great to work with. He didn't actually have any for my lathe but I sent him measurement and he happily adjusted the design to fit. Like a lot of the designs people have posted, they are easy to use and keep the tool on hand but conveniently out of the way.
