I misread the post in the other forum.

At the request of others I reorganized the first page to place the My Google Drive near the top so folks would not have to scroll to find it as I added new content and revised the descriptions.

There is valuable information on this page below the My Google Drive link that folks should read through.

November 29, 2019 under My Google Drive link find "Shopsmith Planer with a manual feed mechanism.pdf" in folder titled Planers (All 3)'

I am pursuing a machinist locally that will allow me to cobble together a manual feed mechanism using a combination of existing parts available from Shopsmith and openly available parts from other applications from McMaster Carr and other vendors.

Once I finish, I will post how it's done, where to find the parts, and information for you to to machine one for yourself if desired.

Kindest Regards,

1956 Shopsmith Woodworking Course lessons

Courtesy of Doug Smith in the Facebook Shopsmith Group, I was provided copies of 1956 Shopsmith Woodworking Courses lessons 3 - 10 written by Professor Benjamin W. Spaulding, Professor Emeritus Of Industrial Arts San Jose State College.

Lesson 3 of 10 #9304

Lesson 4 of 10 #9305

Lesson 5 of 10 #9306

Lesson 6 of 10 #9307

Lesson 7 of 10 #9308

Lesson 8 of 10 #9309

Lesson 9 of 10 #9310

Lesson 10 of 10 #9311

There are pictures of the Mark 5 on the front cover.

While there are no photos, there are extensive line-art drawings and text.

Two lessons were missing:

Lesson 1 of 10 #9302 ?

Lesson 2 of 10 #9303 ?

I seek those to complete the course set I am restoring and will publish. If anyone has those two I would like to obtain 300dpi color scans of them.

Doug also provided a Montgomery Ward 1950-51 Powr-Kraft Power Tool and Welding Catalog.

It has Shopsmith 10E with accessories on the last two pages and the back cover is machine photo with R. J. De Cristoforo adjusting the blade guard.

I will be restoring just the covers and last pages on it.

Thanks for your help and thanks to Doug for sharing. These are another piece of history.

Kindest Regards,

Everett

Two down, 6(8) to go. Great effort!!!!

James,

I have just been gifted a set of all ten already in pdf format by Martin Thomas over in the Facebook Shopsmith Owners Group. They are very clean scans and thus far very much welcomed.

Doug got me started and Martin, seeing what I was working on has refocused my efforts. I will closely examine them to take the best quality forward.

Thank you for your comments, your friendship and for being one of my Shopsmith mentors.

UPDATE: Martin's PDF scans are of such quality that I will simply rename them to reflect his contribution to this project.

I must surmise that Martin's originals are not as yellowed, or his scanner is far superior to mine. These scans are excellent and need no further work.

I have reached out to him, as I am missing Lesson 9 in his bundle of PDF's. As soon as I receive that I will add the entire collection to My Google Drive for everyone.

Blessings,

Everett

everettdavis

Martin Thomas sent me Lesson 09 and they are all now posted.

Thanks again to Doug and Martin for all your help

New Folder Added - Patents

File Naming Conventions I used in My Google Drive Folder - Patents

I have used one of these - Bandsaw - in the Bandsaw folder in an extensive exploration of how the bandsaw tracking system was designed and intended to work.

It has extensively reworked drawings and actual photos included, is readable, reference-able, and zoom capable. No, I have no others scheduled to rework in this manner.... but one never says never.... the urge might strike me someday!

Very interesting. From the patent dates it looks like the '80's were the hay day of SS.

everettdavis

There are still some I am seeking.

The Sawsmith 2000 seems like it would have patented components but I haven’t found them yet.

There may be others too.

A friend who I spoke with extensively on the phone about a Shopsmith and Bandsaw he was considering asked me to write down the things we discussed for him as a check list of sorts.

Well, the result of that request appears below, and on My Google Drive main page. It coupled with the Buying a Used Shopsmith Revisited PDF, and What Can a Single Crosscut Tell You are used in concert.

He also complained about having to scroll down to find My Google Drive link. It now appears in the top of the original post.

Kindest Regards everyone,

Everett

Very nice and well written article with very good advice.

everettdavis

Under the topic:

I never knew that was there

I was recently reminded by someone who was over in the Facebook users group that they didn’t know some of the features I built into documents I created here were even present.

They did not know that I embedded hot links in the photos I included that if double clicked on the photos, open the very thread in the Shopsmith Forums the photo came from.

It was true in the very first document I ever posted here “Buying A Used Shopsmith V2” as well as “Shopsmith Bearing Guide”, “Got Rust” and a host of other documents.

Similarly in a number of restored manuals, and the fully restored 1953 Power Tool Woodworking for Everyone (PTWFE) a 346 page Book, in addition to having an extended table of contents, the table of contents entries are active links within the document.

In the Bearing Guide, the chart at the end has hot-links for the bearings data in many cases.

Moreover, as such the entire documents are word-search capable using Ctrl+F (find) as well as being zoom capable in photos and text.

So in documents you may have downloaded months ago, there are discoveries to be made in them.

And now you know.... if you had not discovered that already.
