Shopsmith Forums

The conversation started something like this: This is my favorite hair brush with all of your expensive fancy tools (Shopsmith) can you fix this? Taking a look at the broken handle it looked to be an easy an fix. A brush sleeve over a tenon. I said "yes I can fix that" and immediately star...
