I guess I failed in my attempt to answer bigeddys' questions:
The following is a cut and paste from another thread - same question.

okay guys, bigeddy needs help here and I can't seem to deliver - maybe you can. He believes he watched Nick do some small item turning using the PowerStation. He wants to do the same but I can't locate the Session. Someone saw it, besides bigeddy .... HELP. Please provide a link.
I'm thinking it might have been some of those uTube session that Nick was doing rather than a Sawdust Session.
Anyone got ideas on how to equipment a power station to hold items for turning. Better yet, anyone got some pictures.
Aaah, I found it. The solution is a fixture:
http://www.shopsmithacademy.com/SS_A...nd%20Lathe.pdf . This fixture provides a place to mount the Tool Rest. On the Mark V this function is served by the Carriage.
Some of the items that would be needed but are NOT included with a Power Station are detailed on page B-13 in
this manual.
The items are a drive center, the tailstock and the tool rest. (top right hand side). They can all be purchased direct from Shopsmith and are often available on ebay.

Let me say I am sorry, I get a little flustered. (LITTLE) yea I know and I am sorry , next time I need to vent I will go to the bathroom turn the lights out and scream... sometimes that helps, You guys are great, thanks to Jon here at the forums , I have a greenie, after picking one up from him, my wife had purchased another one for me. I have 2 greenies. Thank all of you for your understanding and may you all have Merry Christmas's. The 2nd Greenie works great as an extended table. Then I can use it for a dedicated drill press.

re: exciting news new headstock

I saw the updated headstock at my local Lowes. It is very impressive. From the push button controls to the massive increase in moto power and speed (10,000 rpm, I beleive).They have also gotten away from having to remember to crank the speed down before you turn it off. There was hardly any vibration. It cut through a 3x3 block of hardwood as easily as if it were balsa wood. the speed changes are smooth and quick. The motor no longer bogs down at the beginning of a cut.If they show it near you I would really suggest you drop by and give it a look see. I can't say how amazed I was at this product.
