Great content. Vise stop should be on solid jaw. Also, end mills should only be used in a collet. Beautiful design though. I have 1340 PM lathe. 43 yrs in the trade and now teaching in an engineering school.
Thanks for sharing! I'm planning a similar rack, but for a DIY plywood backsplash on a smaller lathe. Definitely borrowing some ideas from your design.
True, It was a lot of work. I thought about buying an already made set, but I enjoy making things and sharing on RUclips. Now that I'm retired, It keeps me Busy. Thanks for the comment.
I’ve been thinking about doing this as well but I have a workbench and a bank of drawers directly behind my lathe and I currently keep my holders in that. I’m not sure if a rack would be enough of an improvement for me. I may build a shorter rack for the same spot to hold my drill chuck and centres, they tend to roll around in a drawer.
Drawers would have been better, But with 2 lathes and the milling machine my space is limited. I keep the chuck and centers in their original boxes in the storage cabinet under the lathe. Kind of a hassle getting to them sometimes. Thinking about making a spot for them at the right side end of the lathe backboard where it 90 degrees down.

Nice I like your work. I may borrow your idea for my lathe. Regards from Townsville Australia
Geez....that's a lot of work, I bought 12, 3d printed ones off of Ebay for $40, & they fit & work great, right on the backsplash.
