Collett Box 29 Sept 2014
Metal tools in a woodworking shop tend to gather sawdust, which pulls the oil off the metal and causes rust. On lathe collets, this can be disastrous, causing several thousandths of an inch error. Yesterday I made a quick box to hold the collets. I do not have a plan for this box; I sort of winged it, but I like the results and dust free collets.
This is not a fancy box; no dovetails, no solid wood. The baltic birth is a void free laminate and very strong.
I'll attach clasps on the front of the box as soon as my Woodcraft order arrives.
That's a 9/16" hex collett in the box.

A few more coats of poly and it is ready for action.
