Smart move labeling the top AND the side of the box.

I'm going to 3D print labels for the other boxes I've made and glue them on. I'm getting so many of the boxes and they're usually stacked so it makes it a lot easier to find what I need if the ends are marked.

Got sick of cleaning up the mini lathe so I made it easier on myself and made a chip tray for it. I had to make it in three pieces to fit my printer. The tray along with the accordion cover should make cleanup easier and quicker.

Again with the boxes. This time for my spare hacksaw blades for my miniature hacksaw. I bought the hacksaw from Menards many years ago. I think they called it a plumber's saw. It's a very handy little saw.

You need an online store to sell these on Ed.

Mark II of the boring head box. In the original the hex keys could flop around, now they're contained in slots.
I added spots for storing the unused set screws plus a spare for each size of set screws. The cork helps to cushion the head.
The one thing I forgot to do is to add the "Boring Head" text to the box lid.

Yup, it's going to bug me so I will end up making a new lid.
That's the second time I had to print the lid because I screwed up a dimension when I first printed it so the third time should be a charm.

I thought it was a wooden box also. I like all of Edk’s box prints..

No box for this one!
Why the heck are lathe spiders so expensive? 300 bucks for an aluminum one? Not a chance. 3D print to the rescue.

Took about an hour, because 85% infill. 7.5mm thick, because that is approximately half the depth of my chuck jaws. And the beauty of 3D printing it is, I can make other size ones by simply scaling it in the z direction and printing another as needed.
