Just an old logger trying to keep his feet covered in wood chipsvery new wood worker
I was educated in nyc and our school had no shop classes but i was interested because my mother had and sued a few basic
tools a saw,hammer, scewdriver and a soft curtain rod which
she used on my brother and me when we bad.my first introduction to wood working was while i was in the military
stationed in Landstuhl Germany and they had wood working
classes in the service clubs wood working shop after that
i was transfered to otis afb in Ma. they also had classes and a shop but my job kept me away from it after that i traveled to many places outside the usa both in the military and as a retiree in 1986 i came back to the usa for a short visit and while i was shopping in a mall in ma. i saw my first mk.5 and fell in love but I had to go back to China and didn't return until 1999 while visit my brother in ct i visited another mall they were having a shopsmith show so i purchased it and had it shipped to my sister in Florida and she put it in dry storage for me then she shipped it to me
at my new home in middletown ct. so now i have time to take it out of the box and start using it. I am planning to attend the school in OH. if its still there, I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Welcome pperritt,
We are glad to have you here, and you will find that the woodworkers here will be able to help you learn. Unfortunately, partially due to the economy, ShopSmith has curtailed all educational activities. You will knot find a school open to take lessons in from ShopSmith. You can access many Sawdust Session videos on the SS web site that might help:

There are classes offered by others. One example wood be your local WoodCraft store.
