Two on One Shopsmith

Post by wa2crk »

Just wanted to show that a Shopsmith is not only a 5 function machine but can also accommodate two operators at the same time.

Thanks, wa2crk!

Good photo - wonderful cause!

Tell Richard to be careful and watch his thumbs.

Richard will take very good care of his fingers. He is a VERY accomplished woodworker as can be seen by the attachment.
This project was NOT a kit.

The first picture reminded me of the ad for the first Shopsmith with the whole family using different attachments at the same time ... :D

Agree - Richard is an accomplished woodworker.

It is interesting his front end loader looks a lot like this one from "Toys and Joys" with some slight changes. http://toysandjoys.com/67-the-front-end-loader.html
