What I did with it was drill a hole...

I have a couple of things to fix. But I am very happy with my progress. What I like most about sketchup is the ability...

Thanks Dusty!!!

Thanks Ron! The link works now - maybe there was something funky with the site when I tried earlier.

p.s. THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR MAKING ME FEEL WELCOME HERE AND HELPING OUT!

I found this link for "Buying a Used Shopsmith Mark V" but it no longer works. Did SS take it down? I would be really interested in getting a copy of this .pdf. Anyone have one?
