My first Shopsmith built piece of furniture.!

Post by paulsgreenbarn »

100% Reclaimed Barn wood Work Table or kitchen Island ,whatever you need it to do. I put the newly aquired 510 through the paces and made this.I also used a metersaw,circ,saw and orbital for a couple chosen task but for the most part the SS did the work.Iused the Bandsaw,Tablesaw,Jointer,6x48 beltsander and Stand alone planer on this project.I'm quite impressed by how well the machine performed.I can definitely see me getting a couple more once my SAhop rebuild is completed and I'm back up to speed with my Furniture business.I'll be finishing this in either painted distressed,Stain or a combination of both to customer's preferences.Thanks for looking.

Just checked the page. Some very nice work there.

I especially liked the fourth table shown at the end of the third row of photos.

I love a heavy duty table like that for working on. With those 4x4s, you don't ever have to worry that it isn't up to the load.
