Two of them are conical, one is a 10" Mark VII and three are steel with varying hub lengths. The rest are aluminum, with two of those my original Goldie vintage. Two are model 10 vintage. With a couple of exceptions, they arrived with a functional shopsmith. One exception was when three arrived at once from e-bay.


No I have not counted saw blades!.:D They may out number the disks.:rolleyes: Yes one of them is the 9" combination steel blade that came with the Goldie in 1962.

I've got one steel and one conical and I am jealous as heck!

I really like this idea! You had the parts so it's a great way to recycle. With sturdy casters you can move this limo out of the way if needed. Very well done and you have a great imagination!

The casters will be a set with badly rusted steel wheels. Their durability is questionable. Sure glad the bigger casters have been made available, but I am hoping it will not be necessary. I do not envision much 'moving it around'. It will occupy most of an entire wall.

He meant to say the 'way' tubes(they are 2x6-10).

The 'bench' tubes are EMT (electrical thin wall metal conduit).

Wow, I like the functionality of your storage sir, holds everything, mobile..nice:)
I wonder 2 things. This sets the bar kind of high for my own retirement projects, how to top this?
I hope your garage floor is flat, cause when that thing starts moveing and one end comes around I hope mommys caddy ain't in the way and you weigh enough to stop it :D

Cheaper way

Pretty fancy, but in keeping with the 'many tools in a small space' theme, I came up with this. I saw the brackets (for erecting temporary tents and such) in a hardware store, and thought, 'I wonder if those would fit'; they fit perfectly, and were a few bucks each.

I find it easier to mount. carry. dismount . . by grasping most spt's from the back.

Need to add a few 'nesting' parts, (to make things stand up straight) then:

Sanding, glueing, sealing, painting remain.

I can't see the brackets very well. Are they just a steel plate (screwed to the base) with a pipe in the center.

Something similar is available from Shopsmith.
