Just finished the restoration of my # 3 10ER, which is currently a dedicated Jig Saw, but will see action as a bowl and pen turning lathe. I now have a 520, 500 and 2 10ER's in my 1/2 of a 2 car garage. My 2nd 10ER is finished but still in pieces. Here is how I store them and then bring them out when working with them.

Completed 10ER restoration that I picked up 3 weeks ago. Just tested it out on a piece of scrap wood and the jig saw works great.

When I'm ready to go to work, the wife's car goes out and everything is moved into position. Takes about 2 minutes to move everything back for the night. My work bench is a $15.00 fold up plastic table

Really nice!!

See you tomorrow Fred

Where ya gonna put the 8k 520 etc.?:D

Fred,

Is one ER10 set up as a dedicated drill press? I would love to see a better picture of the one that appears as a drill press. I am trying to locate one to use in that manner. Thanks for picture. Jim

I cut the base in half, the tubes just overhang the end but since I store it in the upright position it doesn't take up any space. I have since added a speed changer since I took that picture.

You have alot of horses in the stable sir. Nice job on the ER's

Fred, Thanks again for the picture it gives me an additional idea. I actually thought I had an agreement to purchase one. I just discovered it had been sold to another party. Which is just as well. I am not yet up to messing with one. Jim

You've got a good start on the Shopsmith Museum!

I would be inclined to store the 'tailstock' on the 'top' end.

Nice setup!

Ok, the seller is taking it apart for us, I hope he doesn't have any issues. Give me a call on my cell, the number I PMed you.

I may go pick it up and have it at my house if you are going to be later than 1:00.
