Points to ponder

Points to Ponder © Everett L. Davis 2021

Here’s my ‘opening’ question:

Why are indoor hinges more friendly to humans than outdoor hinges?

Lift Assist

No. Though Lift-Assist is a device made by Shopsmith, it has nothing to do with a plastic surgeon.

Re: Which tool do you fear the most?

I respect them all. I have often said that there isn’t one safety device or improvement on a Shopsmith that costs more than a single visit to an emergency room. Yes you can cut off finger(s) even hands with a table saw or even a band saw. Some may be reattached and some may not. That said, the most ...

Re: Shopsmith Large Format Drawings, Illustrations and More

I inherited a Used Shopsmith... I wrote this recently to a young aspiring woodworker with a hand-me-down Shopsmith that hadn’t been turned on in 3 decades. —- One must spend the time to care for, maintain, adjust and develop advanced knowledge of the equipment you have. That comes on the installment...

Re: More construction project than Woodworking

I’m building it myself and showing my two sons how it’s done. I hired a fellow to pour a concrete foundation, then designed and built it with my sons doing lifting and ladder work. We’ve done a lot of remodeling together through the years together but never designed and built something from the grou...

More construction project than Woodworking

No Abby, that is not a new dog house. It will be Mrs. Santa Claus holiday decorations storage facility with wrap around shelving for bins that are in attic, my lofts, my shop, and various closets. Maybe I will get back to more Shopsmith work of a different nature when I reclaim the space! 0C515834-8...

Re: Looking for Early Greenie Upper Saw Guard

I’m still looking for one, even the whole assembly if one is available.

It does have to be this style though.
