I have been quite pleased with the "Push-me / Pull-me" double drill press. Maybe I'll even get a bit more done on it in the coming weeks. I did get a SS caster set on it since I took the pic that I had posted here. I still want to build some accessory shelves to add to it as well as some counter-weights and cables to make it easier to raise the head-stocks and tables up and down.
I can't really think of anything I would want to do different if I were doing it again. Others might perceive it differently since we all work differently but it works well for me. :)

I wonder how stable the base is being so short?
I like it:cool:

It does provide a 'height appropriate' place to store a jointer!;)

Checked out the other items he has listed. Lots of SS stuff! I like that most I looked at had no reserve. Unfortunately all my extra pin money has gone to buy presents.

I found the Shopsmith can be quite stable in the upright position with as little as 6" between the headrest and base even when on casters(12" bench tubes). I installed the headstock and carriage on the bottom (reversed) of the way tubes to better distribute the weight over the base arm and the frame assembly. Never tried this short for the bench tubes.

Like he says, you can store your jointer on the other end to hold things down.
