Shopsmith Forums

Thanks to JPG, I picked this up in Barstow last night and dragged it home. Most of the important basic parts are missing, but it has some good parts that I need to finish one of my other units.
The bandsaw and Jigsaw were worth the price of admission.
Thanks again Red!

You got all that for $240? I didn't know that the economy in CA was that bad. I would have driven to Barstow for that deal. I thought all the bandits were in Nevada. You made out like one.

Congratulations. I drove to Fresno for mine. Been through Joshua Tree many times on my Indian. Nothing better than a night at the Twenty Nine Palms Inn after a long days ride. Is the Harley Diner still in Yucca Valley?

I, also, am a fan of the 29 Palms Inn - except I've never been there on my bike. Always a 4WD rental on my way to/from OP Left.

Here's a YouTube video from there. Sorry for the extremely early and boring laser-on call. We were doing some testing and needed some extra coordination time with the pilots.

Semper Fi, my brothers.

PS: It's a small world.

Yeah, it's still there. I tried eating there.............once.
Spent the rest of the day doubled over on the commode. so, no more for me.
The dealer H-D (Hutchins) just lost their franchise.
I really enjoy that funky 29 Palms Inn. they have good food, a nice menu and some good entertainment.
Give me a shout out next time your riding through, I'll jump on a bike and meet you there.

Tell me about it. I got a fully functional Mark V missing only the lathe tool rest to be a complete stock package. Throw in a bandsaw, belt sander, jointer, molding head, dado, shaper cutters, routing bits, biscuit joiner, all the necessary arbors and chucks and more for $500 and you can see why I made the 3 hour drive. It was 105 degrees in Fresno that day and the Shopsmith was in a storage space. I actually got first degree burns on my ass from sitting on the asphalt while I was unbolting (the original screws had been replaced) the legs. Even so, it was worth it.
