A boring evening, puttering around.

When I got my Shopsmith this spring, I was a little reluctant to give up my drill press, but I needed the space. After the last couple of projects, I have to say, no regrets. Having a big, tilting table with a fence to clamp things to made this boring job quick and easy.

Kid-friendly putters in a variety of sizes for my sons' school carnival.

As for the drill press, I also gave it to the school, so I could still visit it now and then.

My oldest son and I had a punny exchange one night when he asked me what I was reading, and I told him I was reading the boring chapter in my Shopsmith book, and I read him all the boring section headings.

You are not quite fully equiped for that job. You need to give some serious consideration to something like this. http://www.shopsmith.com/ownersite/cata ... e_jaws.htm

Leave her alone Dusty! Give credit where it is due. Good thinking re the clamping without a fancy drill press vise. :cool:


One more(at least) than I would have used. ;) :rolleyes:

Three is far safer! :o
