It was a matter of prospective, if you were not effected then 2020 was not so bad, but if you lost a loved one to Covid or dealt with the disease yourself it was pretty awful. Personally I did not enjoy 2020. I lost a brother to the disease, I watched my daughter a Hospice nurse agonize over insurin...

I couldn't focus on the content because that stupid bear and its poorly done voice-over matching kept drawing my attention. I concluded then that I would avoid the bear in the future. Now, I have yet ...

I am sure many will object to the video that is expected but toward the end he shows some interesting ideas on modifying the SS.

With a half decent blade and a properly adjusted machine the Shopsmith will easily cut through this. Make sure you have the blade height adjusted properly and double check all the locks. Your biggest problem is handling the weight of the top. If you do not make provision for in-feed and out feed sup...

Didn't Nick do a video on this issue? I know that once I went to the 520 I was able to switch the extension table to either end of the machine. However this requires the 520 to be aligned anytime I move the machine, push on the main table with enough force to move the machine(while up on wheels). Th...

You should check out Lumnah Acres channel the maker of this channel just bought 500 acres in New Hampshire. He has been fighting Beavers since the start. Apparently they want to build their dam in areas that will flood out his access roads. In the linked video he visits two abandoned areas that hold...

AMEN!
