Sakman Mario wrote:Greetings. New to the forum but not to ShopSmith. Started using one in 1957 back on Guam whenever my dad was at work. Got to learn carpentry by watching him and trial and error. I finally inherited his Mark I in 1973. It was in bad shape by then. Missing parts. Oxidation won. Now I just inherited a Mark V. Very excited to get back after more than 57 years not using one. This one needs parts as well. Like a band saw blade. Anyone know where to pick one up in San Diego? This will get me rolling on several projects. Thanks for the welcome. I already feel i belong here. Go play.
Welcome!
What is a Mark I?

Well you can add one more new member to the count.
I have been reading this forum for about 2 months and decided to join in.
I have a 1954 Greene SN#262446, that I am a second generation owner of.
I myself am a 54 model, as I was born Nov 54 so I guess this machine and I will grow old together.
Runs great and has had little use in the last 25+ years I have had it. I mostly use it as Drill press and Jointer functions. Recently I have started playing with the lathe. Many years ago I bought a duplicator and only experimented with it twice.

Nice to hear from you sir, a 54 vintage owner as well.
