Man-o-man is it ever good to hear from you again. I had thought that maybe you had completely given up on us now that you are no longer traveling.
We could sure us your input now and then. I pull the DVD out probably once a month minimum just to recheck what you had said about one thing or another.

I'm active duty and got hurt in Afghanistan (non-combat related) and ended up being medivac home then went through back surgery (went through front and back). I'm on conversant leave right now and doing MUCH better. I'm taking things slow and hoping I don't get booted because I'm non world wide deployable right now. I think in about three months, i should be back to normal. As far as my shopsmith, I took some pictures and resizing them now to upload to the sight. My hope, if someone has any ideas once I upload the picture, they can help me by letting me know how I could have improved or let me know what was good.
[quote="vanmeter2r"]Hello all]
I'm glad to hear that you are doing better in recovery from your back surgery. It will be a slow go so do not rush it. I have a failing back but as of right now can not say I have been so diagnosed.
Regarding your Mark V motor problem, did you ever get it to operate normally under load? I do not believe that 110vac line lose is the problem but do check the power cord and make sure that the voltage does not drop when the motor is under load. A bad power cord or "about to fail" switch could do that.
vanmeter2r, Welcome Home Brother. Glad you are healing and thanks for your service. There are lots of vets here pulling for you. Lots of appreciative non vets as well.
vanmeter2r,
Thanks for your service! Glad your taking some time to heal up. I think you'll love your shopsmith, mine is giving me lots of joy and I've barely started using it.
Ricknwood,
Wow what a surprise. I sure hope all is well with you. Does this maybe mean you are back for awhile? Did you ever continue of your DVD series on cabinet making? You see we do remember you and Nick even though it has been awhile.

Thank all of you for supporting your service members;There is a-lot of people (military and civilians)around the world, fighting for our freedom. I do hope I get another opportunity to deploy, but I am unsure since I have 6 disk fused. As far as the motor running, I took SDSMITH advise and turned the motor slowly to get the belts aligned and now everything works great.
