Shopsmith Forums

Oooohh, that makes so much more sense. What’s the saying, “When you have an Allen wrench everything looks like a set screw.”

So, I was totally surprised to walk into the garage this morning and find Santa Claus had brought me a Shopsmith, which looks amazingly like the one previously featured in this thread.
