Just seen on his site that he does a kit for this which was published in MEW July 2014

Can anybody let me have a sight of it please?

Ron, I liked the idea, but as part of a tidy up wanted something NOW:

and a close up:

It's a 700mm length of 25×3 steel left over from another job, and 10 pieces of 25×1 cut 75mm long, with a guessed at 30degree bend 25mm from the end. They are welded 25mm apart, and the whole lot is screwed to the cupboard door next to the lathe.

I don't believe in making things complicated, so the only measurement was the first 75mm hanger; everything else was marked out using it, or its width which explains the 25mm spacing.

There's probably 30minutes work in it, all done with handtools and it owes me about £5. A little grinding and a coat of paint would pretty it up, but I'm calling it finished.

If Liddle or Aldi have them in their magnetic bars that one can screw to any convenient surface are great .I have my holders on one and I don't have a problem with the bar magnatizing the holders.The only downside is they don't always have them in stock ,I think they are about £5.
