Shopsmith in a picture

Post by robinson46176 »

Some days I can't remember what I had for breakfast but today I do since I forgot to eat breakfast. :rolleyes: :)
In that vein, I can't remember if I posted this picture here before or not. Since it is so rare for our poor ignored or dis-liked in a prejudiced manner, Shopsmiths, to be pictured in woodworking books etc. I thought I would post it.
Note: If one more person who finds that I have Shopsmiths and bad mouths them followed by commenting that they have never seen one up close... I just might become hostile. :eek: :rolleyes: :mad: :mad:
This book is an older one called "Planning and Building Your Home Workshop" by David X. Manners. A Popular Science book copyrighted in 1969 and 1980, revised in 1980.
Not a big or flashy book but common sense and quite a few good ideas. :cool:
There is no mention of the Shopsmith in the book other than it being in this picture.
