Star accessories

[cheese1566]

Let's see your homebrew/homemade Star accessories! Mounts, heaters, feeders, handles...need some ideas.

My Star is on order and I plan making my own PID controlled heater base and eventually my own air feed.

I see some of you have made some really nice oak boxes with drawers to mount them on (Duke Nukem's).

Here's a bracket and Akro bin to catch the boolits:



Here's a home made shovel handle:



I also have a spring set up to hold the handle in the upright position. I can get a pic if someone wants to see it - wasn't my idea, I think I copied it from someone here.

Hi Chris,
Really like the idea of the Acro bin and bracket..... Acro bin is no problem but where did you get the bracket?

Thanx!

What is the string for thats attached to the counter weight below the bench?

bracket is just a piece of 1/8" steel about 3/4" wide and as wide as the bin - spaced out from the bench with washers.

Yep, the string and counterweight were used to hold the handle in the upright position. I use a spring now.

Thanks! Will have to give this a try..... Right now I size into a bin setting on the top of a stool.... This would be a vast improvement....
