Re: Should I buy my friend's Shopsmith?

I noticed the fence straddler and featherboard are the model 500 gray type. Wonder if this was upgraded to the 510? When did the toggle switch change to the new style?

Re: Disappointed in MiterSet

I bought the segmented MiterSet for the regular table saw and use it with my craftsman and SS saws. I just hold the miterbar against one side while pushing against the pins. I thought that would keep the angles accurate. I use it to set 90 & 45.

Re: Fly Tying Desk

Looks good, that should make your daughter’s boyfriend very happy! I know absolutely nothing about fly tying. So should you have the photo opportunity, I’d love to see an action photo of the desk in use, loaded up with supplies. They took it home Thanksgiving day. I believe he liked it, he had it m...

Re: Fly Tying Desk

Well I don't know if it's better to add more pictures to my first post or reply to myself. :confused: Anyway I'm done. I'm pretty happy with my stain job, I know it's not a great match but I'm ok with it since everything is reused/repurpose/recycled. I bought 3/16x36" brass rod, cut it into 3&q...
