Hello everyone
A while back someone made an adaptor so that a steel lathe tail stock could be used on the ShopSmith. I can not find this artical in the archives.

Hello everyone
How about buying bendable plywood, the stuff is not hard to find, once glued is holds its shape nicely. (No spring back, like the steamed bent stuff will do.)

Good luck on the project.

Green wood is fun. Dried wood is work! ;-)

sycamore is a good work to work with, it turns like soft maple. but looks a lot nicer.
