Hmm, extension table is about the right width and length. Raised the main table about 1/4 inch; put drawer front on extension table; planed away. Voilá, instant $3500 bench hook.

$3500 bench hook
Yesterday I needed to plane off some pine scabbed onto a particle board drawer front that I'm repairing for my daughter. Haven't gotten around to making a real bench hook and didn't want to take the time; plus I couldn't find a scrap to use. Turned around and there was the Shopsmith with the main and extension tables mounted and butted up against each other. Hmm, extension table is about the right width and length. Raised the main table about 1/4 inch; put drawer front on extension table; planed away. Voilá, instant $3500 bench hook.

How about a $350 Veneer Press?
Yes, Shopsmith Tools ARE versatile!
I recently needed to glue some bubinga veneer on a piece of MDF. Once I got it situated, I put a flat board then a 510-floating-table (upside down) over it. Then I put a Shopsmith Jointer on top of that. It glued quite nicely.
Try moving one of those "Norm Abram" jointers around like that!

The finished veneer job
Hi again,
Here is the "rest of the story" on that Jointer-Pressed veneer gluing job. I made a wooden holder for a wrought-iron type of candle-holder we had received as a gift lately. The center of the piece is veneered, and the rest are solid woods.
