Who are you asking? I do knot own one (it wood be nice) and they are no longer available new, but I believe that is a ShopSmith Joint Matic.
Oops, looks like Ed beat me to it!

Hi Ed, I bought all three at the same time when they were first made available. I was surprised at two things when I got them; first, I was taken aback at their small stature, but of course they could knot be any larger and still fit under the Mark V as advertised, so... and second, that they were made in China. I honestly considered returning them, but I reconsidered and kept them. I do like them, but I plan on stacking them, so I will no longer be able to store them under the Mark V. I plan on making a wood cabinet that hangs off the bench tubes, but it is still in the planning stages as I need to design it around the "Lift-Assist" that I still have to install. So many projects, so little time.
Another Storage Idea Too

I was really hoping you would share that masterpiece with the group eventually! It not only looks good but it is also well laid out.

Rob,
Very impressive quality and excellent lay out. I am always looking for new shop storage ideas. I my even find a way to include some of your ideas in a future cabinet. One of the things I enjoy about making cabinets for the shop is the opportunity to learn new and useful methods. Thanks again. Jim

Ed (reible) I was amazed at how much your shop looks like mine! Take away a few tools and add about an inch of sawdust to everything and you would have mine! No wonder you show your set-ups out in the driveway.
Rob - Very nice adaption to the hanging too cabinet beneath the Mark V. To duplicate, all I would need is another Mark V base.

I agree this is a great looking set up for storage, I am working on ideas to make a storage area for future usage for later aquired items.
Thanks for the pictures.
