Keeping it simple. I like it.

[@mkegadgets4380]

Thank you for your comment you would be surprised how easy it is to make and how well it works.

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

That is a really clever tool. Thanks for the video.

[@mkegadgets4380]

It works quite well. And you don’t have to rotate your tool holder towards a side of the ways. You can set the height anywhere the tool is sitting. Thanks for your continuing support.

[@alainblanc5738]

I am going to try to make it : being directly on the lathe ways is the right solution, and the reflexion glass improve precision, great ! (excuse my english, i am french)

[@mkegadgets4380]

I was expecting another like all the others. Nice!

[@mkegadgets4380]

This works better than the other ones because you can set your tool anywhere on the compound. You don’t have to swing it over to the edge and be over the ways if you’re using like a round rod.

I like it... gonna make one. Have tried a lot of methods. The challenge I have is my lathe is a Sherline mini; things normally done a full size lathe are near impossible due to lack of room.
This I can scale.
Thanks for taking the time to vid this.

@@mkegadgets4380 I sub'd, about ½ way thru the 2nd vid I watched.
FYI, I found a great way to store zip lock bags. Use one of those paper accordian files labeled A-Z, (they have more partitions).
I sort bags in size & label each divider. You can get a tremendous # of bags in it & they're durable. The one I use for bags was old & used from a business I had thru the '90's & early 2000's; a bit of packing tape help & it's over 30 yrs old.
Something I added along the way was a hand drawn rule w/ 1" increments to the top front for qck measurement.
After a while I had so many bags of one size, I started putting 11 bags, folded in half inside a single bag & gave them their own division. Makes it easy to grab bags & give them to friends who come by.
I also use an accordian file for storing thin plastic, paper, rubber & metal sheets. Even have enough room left to store my drawing paper, plastic shape templates & old project drawings in the back 4-5 partitions.
The older I got the more I craved not wasting time being disorganized. About 50, I will on a organize everything campaign after I found myself digging thru a container of fasteners for the umpteenth time. I just couldn't stand wasting what time I had left; glad I did, now that I'm 70!
