Organizing my wood shop - Lathe Tools

Using the French Cleat system  I made a way to store my lathe chisels in reach of my lathe.
I used 1 1/2 inch pvc pipe cut to length and then angled. After using pipe cleaner on them I turned a rod the right size to fit inside the pipe. Once the rod was the correct size to fir I cut it off in one inch disks that fit snugly inside the pipe.  Next came the drilling of the holes in the top and bottom. The screw in the bottom not only holds the pipe to the french cleat it also holds the disk in the bottom of the pipe.

Keep watching for further improvements in my shop this year.
