Welcome, Dwayne.
The fellas are right, get it now and enjoy it down the line. Just got my Power Pro headstock and she is SWEET.
As for retirement? Scary stuff, at first, but in a while you will truly not have enough time in the day, and then wonder where the day went!
Enjoy and full fill those ...

Free shipping? And for $15? SO tempted! Anyone try it?

Happy Birthday, JPEG
And many Happy returns for the Day!

That board has to be at least 16" wide by the looks of it!
My 10ER was free, so the board would cost more than all the Evapo Rust and paint it's taking?
Zounds, but she is a BEAUT!

Can't always jump in, but let me say that mono-chrome is probably best, just put a HIGH sheen on which ever you choose.
But let me ask, is that board a single piece of wood? Or is that all done with mirrors as well? Am struggling with what to choose. Even considered plywood!

So we use a coffin plane to get chickens to cross streets?
No wonder the Padres didn't win the pennant!:eek:

Welcome. I too come by on the occasional basis and find TONS of info here.

One caveat before finishing that bike, wax your Shopsmith with Johnson's ORIGINAL Paste Wax (for furniture).
Rumor has it that Florida has humidity and that is the enemy of tubes, tables and the like. So......
Welcome.

To get to the other side?

I was going to chide you about the wood base and material and finish you were to put on it, but I need not! Nice photo and glorious when it comes to Photoshop; makes it all a lot easier,eh?
BUT what IS that wood base she sits upon? And is it all one piece? Tell me it isn't real!

Were those extensions from another piece or did you make them? How does one come upon such? I mean, without being Bill Mayo?
