Post by robinson46176 »

This is a thread to show Shopsmith owners in the state of Indiana. Just post your general location. I generally just say "Central Indiana" but I am outside of Shelbyville Indiana.

Next?

Max Monts here just outside of Bloomington. I got my mid-80s ShopSmith 11 years ago and have done all sorts of remo, casework, furniture and turning with it. I've had a PowerPro now for just 'bout a year, and it's SSSOOO great for lathe work, that I haven't even tried the other functions yet.
For us turners in the crowd, I've used the McNaughton Bowl Coring system with the old Power head with less-than-satisfactory results. The Nova/SS PowerPro changed all that, tho!! WOW!! At 250 RPMs and ever-replenishing torque, I may never do another change-out again...
(I'll have to NOT say that aloud in the shop - just a portion of my 2-car garage - or the joiner, planer, etc. will start to become jealous of the lathe.)
I'm outta here to mow some grass, bale some hay, and maybe, just maybe, later on, get lathed ;)

North side of Indy, but currently in Los Angeles on a trip!

A Shopsmith "devotee" for a little over 4 years now. It's been great fun, practical, and seems to help me control my weight better than any other hobby to date. Hard to sit still when there's a Shopsmith in the basement.

This thread has been idle for a while. I just thought I would bump it back on top to see how many more Hoosiers have come along since. :)
