Nice!
Tell us more about the container. What is it? Where'd you get it? etc

Let's talk about why the smart people at Shopsmith decided to use a allen-head bolt on the bottom of the bandsaw table that is a different size than every other allen head screw on the entire machine. What the heck were they thinking?!?!

Why didn't they simply use a 5/32" allen-head bolt?

Where can I purchase just the lathe gouge blades without handles?

I can make my own handles. That's pretty easy and fun.

I recently upgraded to the PowerPro. In the upgrade kit, they included both the old style toggle switch and a newer style safety switch.

Any ideas how to make it hold more securely?
