Chuck Hubs - views please
Twisted Trees:
I have looked at various ways of storing my chucks and other spindle thread based items (nut based sanding disks, friction plates etc.) and decided the best place was in drawers where they will not get plastered in dust / shavings etc. I like drawers controllable spaces which stops me burying stuff with more stuff, and dust free storage as well, that is why I now have lots of them in the workshop :-) I think Chuck Hubs were designed for creating art installations not for sensible storage. Now if someone could just point me in the direction of the TARDIS drive to make my workshop bigger on the inside I will be sorted....
Dancie:
Many thanks everyone - I'm told, but cant confirm, that the Axminster chuck hubs did run out at one point so somebody's buying them and the reviews are very complimentary - I'll stick to the shelf idea - all the best :)

I’m sure I’ve seen an Axminster Chuck Hub used for something other than its original intended purpose but I can’t remember what that was now.
John:
I use a chuck hub mounted sideways on a block of wood which is the clamped to the bench. This gives me an extra work station when turning not needed such as forming hollow barley twists and carving.

The advantage of a sloping shelf and pegs is that any shavings will fall off rather than collect on a standard shelf. I did look at the axminster ones and was put off by having to keep unscrewing the chucks from them
