Any Mark II lovers out there? $25 in Silver City, NM

Crazy good Randy. I admire your skills.

I tend to cut on a sheet of foam on the ground outside, so I rarely bother hooking up a vacuum. One thing I like about my Festool is that I have a dust collection bag that was designed to fit it's cordless version, but also works with the corded one. The bag keeps the dust from spreading out all ove...

Doesn't surprise me. I just ordered a set of the jointer knives that they put on special, and 12 days later I got an email saying that they are on back order for over 3 months. Also, if I want any of the other items I ordered to ship before the backordered item comes in, I have to call them and let ...

Dusty, This may not be of much help, and it may be too late anyway, but before Bill Mayo passed away, he used to sell a castor upgrade for the Pro Planer. I purchased and installed one on my Pro Planer and it works perfectly. I am attaching the instructions provided by Bill so that you can see if it...

Ed, I've got a couple of Amazon Dots at home, which I like, and I have also thought about using them in the shop for the same purposes you have proposed. I think for turning on lights and equipment it would work well. I'm concerned about turning off equipment, as I wonder if the noise of the tool an...

Great video to demonstrate that beautiful, high end furniture can be created with nothing but the Shopsmith system and a few hand tools. Shopsmith should license this video and use it to market the system.
