Re: Chair repair & refinishing
Yes, the curved supports and back rails were clearly bent as part of the construction process. I wish I knew who made the chair in the early 1900's and how it was done.

Re: need help, what is thI s
Dusty, I found this 2015 post from you(!) and Mike listing the various Shopsmith setscrews & where they are used. It may answer where some of those odd set screws came from. There have been numerous postings regarding the hardware and hardware part numbers used by Shopsmith. The data provided in...
