First project in the new shop – an organizer for the various bar stock material I use in the machine shop portion of my space. For years, miscellaneous Delton, aluminum, teflon, steel, titanium, brass, etc. rods have stood in corners, been tucked behind machines, sitting up in rafters with no real permanent home, waiting to be used but by bit in the lathe. I decided it was time to dedicate some space, time, and attention to finally organizing them all.
I spent 10 minutes at lunch last week drawing up a design in AutoCAD that I sort of copied from antique cast iron pipe racks. I know someone who sells them, but antique ones are WAY outside my budget.
I ordered three sections for me and three for another machinist friend who was interested in a set for himself after I showed him my drawing from SendCutSend and BAM! they were sitting at my door three days later. I do love SendCutSent! I bent them up in my SWAG press break and hung them up in the shop in a span of 40 minutes. Sure quick and simple.
Am pretty proud about how they came out!
