I received a couple of things last week, and just got around to putting them where they belong.
First was a large Starrett poster (free from their website) that I cut down slightly to fit in a poster frame so it would stay clean. Easy to read all the way across the shop, so no more squinting at the 8.5x11 laminated sheet I had before.
And next was the collet rack that I have been wanting for a while. Last one, and it was cheap - probably because it doesn't have that fancy hammered paint like the other ones.
Also visible (top right) is the collet stop I got right around the same time. Shars brand. Except for the gritty grease covering it, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of it. Threads are clean and burr free, and it threads smoothly into all the collets I tried. I have a total of 22 5C collets, so this should give me enough space for the foreseeable future.

Full of ideas, but slow to produce parts
