Shopsmith Forums

I know about "Captain Eddie" and I have seen Youtube videos. I didn't say I didn't know how to do turnings, but I usually use one of my other lathes for the task. I know the Shopsmith is capable of doing turnings but I would like to read about some. I have a 10ER so it has the required wei...

I started reading the first few posts and they were somewhat pertaining to adding a pen turning section of this forum, among maybe others. I place my vote on adding a "pen turning" or just "turning" section. I am mainly a pen turner and I agree it is difficult to find information...
