DESCRIPTION:

This is a drawing of a hanger for Aloris style toolholders. Thanks to 
AL <alicecurtis@worldnet.att.net>. AL provided the following description:

>This is a hanger for toolholders it is made of one strip of 1.5 inch flat
>stock 18 inches long ( or make the length to taste dependant on how many
>toolholders you have)
>The tabs that are welded to this strip are made to fit into the dovetail
>on the toolholder and are spaced about 3 inches apart.
>The 30 degree angle permits the toolholder to be placed in the position shown
>or in a reversed position this is handy if a toolholder has a long tool in it.
>
>The purpose of this device is to provide a place off the workbench for
>the toolholders.
>The toolholders create clutter and interfere with the important uses of
>the workbench like coffee cups, ancient copies of doall catalogs, butts etc.
>this tool rack is intended to be raised off the back of the workbench.
>When I made this rack I had a steel backboard so I set the rack on a couple
>2 inch blocks and welded it to the back board.then I welded another rack
>6 inches above this.
>Suddenly not only was there more room on the bench but the tools were easier
>to select, and cleaning chips from the bench was much easier as there were
>fewer traps.
>So be the envy of all your friends' build this handy, dandy clutter reduction
>device.
