This was designed to hold my AXA size quick change tool holders on a wall to get them out of drawers and keep them out of the chip tray. The size can be modified to fit larger size BXA & CXA tools if needed. Each bracket holds 5 tools to keep it optimized for smaller scrap usage and to keep them semi-modular. I made this out of 16g and it holds up well. The tabs are bent out 45 degrees after cutting and then the tab edges are rounded over with a die grinder. The Sheetmetal doesn't mark up the hardened tool holders but if you are worried about that you can always cut it out of aluminum. I have them mounted onto wooden 2x4 standoffs to get them closer to the lathe from the wall to help minimize reaching across a running lathe. I left a little room for a logo or whatever at the top, I tend to put Sawyer-Built or S~B on everything I make anymore just because I can-when kerf width doesn't give me fits :)
