Lathe tool holder holder
I always liked the sloping tool holders that some old lathes had. e.g.:

however they are mainly used for collets or tailstock centres. I wanted something to hold my QCTP holders (which are "Italian" style).
Into the scrap pile I go, grab some little bits of angle iron,
and try to arrange the holders to hang on them: IMG_1501.jpg IMG_1502.jpg
The angle iron is Cadmium plated, so welding is risky. I spend way too much time working out how to Meccano them all together. Eventually, a bit of wood, some screws/bolts/UniStrut, and viola:

The right-hand tools are up top, and a boring bar next down. Left hand, and threading, aren't used much, so are down the bottom.
To do:
1) At the moment this is on a base, but I will either hook it over the top of the splash tray, or mount it on a pole or two, so it can hover up above the tailstock.
2) Need to work out how to store a few centres on/in it. Timber blocks aren't really big enough to drill 2 or 3 holes in.
