Just thought I'd share what I put together today for storing my turrets and die sets for the Loadmaster. I still need to sand it down and finish it but I think it came out pretty good and it gives me a place for 14 sets.

I just used a cheap circle cutter in my drill press that I ground the cutter on to allow me to go through 3/4 inch in a single cut and then just a little sanding.
I like the ones that MaryB posted too, not sure what was used there.
I just wanted to make something that fit that space on my bench that would keep my turrets and dies protected and within easy reach and this is what I came up with now when my other Loadmaster shows up from NoZombies I will only have a couple spots open.:bigsmyl2:
I still want to sand and stain it and then try to figure out a way to mark the holes for the different dies sets so I keep them in their place, maybe a little anal retentive with that but I like to have things identified for ease.

That would be nice, way above my means though so I'll have to stick with old school methods. [smilie=l:
Yours look nice though, do you sell them someplace?

Honorstick,
Very impressive. How long did it take to make it ?

It took me about 2 hours total, I put a finish on it today so I'll try to get some pics of it finished tomorrow.
Thanks for the comments.

I sell by word of mouth and only advertise them on a couple boards. Solid red oak. Unfinished kit of parts would run $25. Finished and stained $40

As promised here are some finished pics of it, the pictures don't really do it justice. It really turned out nice.:bigsmyl2:

I don't think it turned out to bad considering it was made from an old 1 x 6 I had laying around and some stain and poly left over from a toy box I built for my oldest granddaughter a couple years ago.
