Very nice indeed. I am sure the seller is happy it is going to someone who will care for it and get some great use out of it.

Here are the two upside down picture reoriented.

I’d be envious if I wasn’t so happy for you. Looks like you’ll have a lot of fun with that!

Yes, pens can be done on a Shopsmith. And other small things also. If you buy a chuck you will have to get a SS adaptor for the chuck.

I prefer the Oneway Talon chuck. I got a Nova G3 as a second chuck but I did not like it. Don't take just my opinion though. The Nova had a left hand thread for tightening and loosening the jaws. A bit confusing when using two chucks. I sold the Nova and bought a second Oneway. Whichever one you buy you will be happy with it. I understand that Nova may have corrected the left handed thread issue but check first. If you do buy a second chuck eventually I recommend that you buy the same brand. The chuck jaws are not compatible across brands.
