Niche Tools Tap and Die Holder Storage

I got one of the Niche Tool Tap and Die holders from Turner’s Warehouse (www.turnerswarehouse.com). These holders are made for use on a wood lathe to hold threading taps and dies perfectly perpendicular to the work being threaded. These are being sold for custom kitless pen making. Although I have not yet started making custom pens there are numerous times I’ve needed to thread something and have struggled with getting the tap or die perpendicular to the piece to get a threaded result that will result in good part matching when the pieces are fastened together. This is going to solve that problem. It is also going to serve well when I do start making custom pens.

This holder was designed to go on my French Cleat wall. It is made from 5 mm Revolution plywood. The box was designed with my OpenSCAD box program and the French Cleat attachment added in VariCAD.

After cutting on the laser and assembling, the piece was clear-coated.
