Thanks!!

Thanks for the responses. Judging by the responses I am going to go with, if they are anything they aren't worth much. Looks like they are bound for miscellaneous tool part heaven! ;)

Part Identification Request

All,

I recieved a grab bag of Shopsmith items. Mostly Arbors & other easily identifiable items. However, a couple of the items have completely baffled me. I would greatly appreciate any assistance in identifying the parts show below.

Ivan,

I ordered them from Harrison Specialties off of eBay. Not sure who the original manufacturer is. Got one Square Scraper , and one Hallowing Tool . It was all I could afford right now, at $30 each. If they don't work out well then I will ask for a high end HSS set from Soresby or something of ...

What size is this? Just asking because I am also just starting to turn wood. Sharpen the chisels and you'll do fine.

It was about 6" diameter & 6" of length.

Bought a bench grinder today. Now to try and sharpen the chisels, that's the part I have been avoiding most. I even bought a couple of ...

First Lathe piece

Well I made it from a log with the use of some very dull old Shopsmith turning chisels. It ain't much to look at but it is my first attempt. After all until wood is put to tool nothing is going to come of it!

Thank You

I appreciate the kind responses and sharing of knowledge. I am going to get a much smaller piece of wood and a live center. That combination should get me started in the right direction. I figured it was off center but wanted some other opinions.

As far as my pre-emptive(sp?) comments they had the ...

Beginner Lathe Questions

Started doing some turning today!!! Very excited about learning the new skill but ran into a bit of difficulty.

Following the advice of a Learn to Turn video I attached a medium size piece of firewood to my Shopsmith. I used the Shopsmith 3 3/4" faceplate to attach it to the machine. Then turned ...
