Hello everyone, I am new to the shopsmith but have been a woodworker for 25 years. I hope I contribute more than I ask for help.

Welcome! The more the merrier!;)

Asking for help is preferable to being confused.:confused:

Contributions can come when they may!:)

It would help to put a location on your signature and what you own, that way advise can be tailored.

Welcome.

Yes, it would be nice to know a bit more about who you are, where you live and what wood working experience to bring with you but I'll be honest. It has nothing to do with how much better I might be able to help you. I am just nosey.

Welcome to the forum where no question goes unanswered - even if we collectively don't know.

Your personal profile is probably the best way to feed us those personal tidbits of information that you decide to share.

Do realize we give it our best sleuthing efforts and usually finally discover the answer.

We are tenacious and do not give up easily!

Welcome from another newer member (I am new to SS and WW so I don't contribute much advice). I hope you enjoy the group here as much as I do. These guys do try to keep us all finding WW with SS rewarding.
