The builders of this historic church used a Shopsmith for a special cut. The link below takes you directly to the Shopsmith segment but once in youtube you can watch the entire 30 minute show if you're interested.

Thanks Dave. As best as I can tell he's running his saw blade in drill press mode. The jig he made is acting as a blade guard. Pretty clever.

Ya, I thought that might be what he was doing, but I was not at all sure.
