Shopsmith Forums

Yeah, I did a quick search about the speed reducer. Pretty cool attachment.
Funny how I keep finding things I feel I really really need!

Right now, I'm working on a couple of dust collector troughs for the Shopsmith. Making them out of a plastic food barrel and rigging up an attachment for the dust collector hose. (I don't have a system of piping set up, because so much of my equipment is movable, because I still park the car inside during the winter.) Will include pics when it's done.

thecreaturecomforts,

You said,

or want? I know the felling all too well. My want list has been very long and mostly satisfied. I have much more than listed below.

My work is also done on a moving basis and having the Dust Collection that way too is a plus for me. Prior to moving in mid 2023 my workspace was our oversize garage but I did have to keep space available for my wife's car.

I’m kind of restricted on getting anything else, unless I get rid of something first zero room left in my little shop/garage.

Recently upgraded my Bandsaw to a 3 hp Rikon that has a 14 inch cutting height! An absolute beast! Cut through would like its butter.

Of course, that meant I had to rewire the garage,
bring more power out from the house,
add a subpanel, etc., etc. etc..
