My first all Shopsmith project

Post by bdad80 »

Although I have been woodworking for many years and have several stationary tools, I'm new to Shopsmith. I while back I bought one machine to restore and now have three. The whole Shopsmith thing is a little addictive. Anyways, here are some pictures of a project I did completely with the Shopsmith.

Very functional, good looking piece of furniture. It's nice to have little shop made things like that towel holder. Helps to make a house a home!

I think that pill is about as effective as the new infamous female Viagra - with worse side effects! Might as well appreciate and enjoy the addiction!
