Just testing to see if I did this correctly. BTW I started this way before I was a SS owner. I became one during the building process, and couldn't have finished it without my SS

Looking good! So, I'm curious: what was the Shopsmith essential for on this project? Also, were you working off of someone else's plans or your own design?

I didn't have any plans or kit. I just looked at lots of pictures and winged it. Where the SS was a must have for me was when I was shaping the trim for the arch top part, also disk sanding, also drum sanding. I did also use the bandsaw and joiner, and plainer. I've made things before, but this was my first official wood working project.

That arch is a nice touch.
