Workshop Uses for 3D Printing

[Lons]

Maybe 3D print a new workshop.

Yet more wall-storage. I used to have my #80 hanging on a peg but recently I knocked it with a bit of wood I was getting off a shelf and the #80 fell off the peg and landed on the bench. Thankfully, it survived the fall, but I decided I didn't want that to happen again.

On the bench:

Yebbut what happens when you run out of wall?

Probably the more accurate answer to that question is that you add extra ones. These are two bits of wood (one is a single layer of plywood held on a French cleat, the other is two layers of OSB screwed to a joist) that give me more "wall" space:

Both have stuff on both sides, e.g. my collection of metal lathe tool holders (mostly home-made):

I've got one of these Axminster work lights. They're really good and I took it away on holiday with me in June when I was trialling my tool chest. I had previously mostly used it by magnetising it onto things and this was the first time I'd used the clamp.

What I didn't realise until after removing the clamp from the tool chest is that the clamp has some quite deep grooves in it and these made some big gouges in the top of my tool chest

Thankfully, they've mostly come out with some liberal application of a wet rag and a hot iron and I'm sure the rest will come out with a quick smoothing plane skim of the top surface, but I wanted to make sure it didn't happen again, so I 3D printed a simple insert to protect the clamped surface:

Nice.
