Picked up a new tool chest to store stuff for the new Bridgeport. You could mount the handle on either side, so that left 2 threaded inserts just sitting there on the opposite side, so I made a little shelf to contain the hold down kit and cutting oil, etc from some leftover 304 scraps. 14 ga for the main piece and the 2 upper extensions where the screws go in. 1/8" x 3/4" bent around as a small lip to keep stuff from rolling off too easy. There was a locating hole next to each screw boss, so I drilled a hole for a short stub of 5/16" rod and plug welded it there. Fun little project. It is so handy to be able to do little things like this!
btw, nice Bridgie! Variable speed head, and is that a VFD?
