Now that CRT computer monitors are on the endangered list, I have enlisted the old monitor swivel brackets to aid me in the shop.
One is set up for the mill and carries plans and small bits and bobs that I don't want to leave on the mill table, the other is set up near the lathe.
They are strong enough to carry tools and parts, and both the tray and arm swivel. They move towards and away from you as well.
At some stage I'll get to making some wood tops with a more substantial lib on the bottom and sides.
As a side note, the toilet roll is a handy and cheap supply of clean wipes for my parallels and vice. Not its designed purpose I know, but if things go really pear shaped (read big bang) it might be handy to have close by as well ;D
Cheers
