OMG Thee art fallible?

Unfailingly fallible.

I’ve seen a few of your videos, including the one where you talk about this project. I too was a bit worried you’d run afoul of SS Hq but it looks like you’ve taken care of that. I would love to see the finished product. I will be looking out for it.

An update on these reference materials that expand on the information contained in the manuals is long overdue. Congratulations Stephen on following through with this Self Study Guide update with the co-operation of Shopsmith. That is quite an undertaking to edit and update both the text and pictures. Although it still has a lot of good information, I wish this would have been done when the latest printing of Power Tool Woodworking for Everyone was released instead of just putting the picture of a Mark 7 on the cover.

AMEN!

The first 20 Assignments on Table Saw operations were printed and delivered to Nick Cupps at the Celebration of Woodworking event May 17-18 in Dayton, Ohio. They were well received by Nick who then gave them to Jim McCann for review. The first supporting YouTube video was completed today and is being reviewed by the field testers. When they have finished their review, the video will be edited and submitted.

FIELD TESTERS NEEDED
I am looking for some additional field testers for the new Shopsmith Mark 4/7/520 Self Study Course who are UNDER AGE 60. I have sufficient testers for the over 60 demographics. The lessons and assignments for table saw operations and horizontal boring operations have been completed and tested. Testing for horizontal routing, disc sanding, spindle turning, and bowl turning will be starting shortly in that order. Please send me a private message if you are interested along with which machine operations.
Testers need to own one of the following models: Mark 4, Mark 7, Mark 520S, or a Mark V 520.

What has age got to do with any of it? It ain't about users. It is about how to . . . .

Or for that matter ss model if one is only a tester and not a photo subject.

Today I had the final Zoom meeting with the Field Testers for the Shopsmith Mark 4/7/520 Self Study Course. They are currently testing the very last assignment in the course. Nicholas Cupps, the current owner of Shopsmith has been kept in the loop from the very beginning and all content has been shared with him. However, he has expressed no interest at all in Shopsmith being involved in this project.
Copyright of all materials is in progress with the US Copyright Office. Publication and Distribution avenues are being developed. Please share with me any ideas you may have.

However, he has expressed no interest at all in Shopsmith being involved in this project.


Gee I wonder why!
