sawmill,

What issue of Wood has the article on push sticks being dipped (rubberized)?

Are birds choosey? I have been told that they are about the size of the hole and whether or not it has a front stoop. They look nice no matter what the bird thinks. Nice job. There is a shop here that sells nothing but birdhouses and none of them are for birds. They are sold to people who use them t...

What did Shopsmith Customer Service (1-800-543-7586) have to say about this problem?

How many complaints have they had to field? What was their solution?

disckg1 or anyone else more computer savvy than I (which is most of you): Obviously, someone, somewhere knows more about my viewing habits than I would prefer. But I can't do anything about that unless I become a hermit. However, just how correct are though statistics? For example, I routinely log o...

Putting in a 220 motor can't be much different. Especially if you understand the electrical or have a helper that does. Call Shopsmith customer ser...

Don't pitch even if you buy new ones. I have five (two are conical). It's a lot easier to change disks than it is to change paper. You'll be able to clean it up . Heat, mineral spirits and some elbow grease. Don't scrap it. Keep it as smooth as possible. Unlike most everything else Shopsmith - don't...

Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the family. I am sure that you'll be very happy with this machine. It really looks to be in pretty good shape. As has already been stated - the jointer is really not all that bad (if the table is not pitted). After you do that navel jelly treatment you...
