Hi all, im in the houston area.
I inherited my fathers shopsmith when he passed in june. i am in the process of getting a new breaker panel and outlets setup in my garage(waiting on my friend/electrician to have a weekend to do it). so that i can get everything set up. It has the jointer, bandsaw, lathe, table saw attachments. along with the extenstion table for the tablesaw.
i also brought home a ryobi spindle sander, and biscuit joiner tool.
already had a nice table saw, and a ok miter saw.
Very excited about getting some projects done with this 30 year old tool that my father made many pieces of furniture on over the years.
I had to disassemble it to transport it from Utah to Texas.
any way just wanted to say hello. thanks

Welcome! We like pictures, so when you get it all cleaned up, lubed and assembled, consider posting a pic or two.

Greenie, Grayling, SS stand alone BS and BS SPT, jointer and belt sander, 3 Ers with Speed Changers. I think those 3 cover my ER needs, and space for them.
