Random Shopsmith Sighting

Post by eldyfig »

I am looking at prospects for a barn building. Built my own shop - wood frame, wood siding, shingle roof, on a slab. Definately not looking for all that work again. So I am looking at steel buildings and come across SteelMasterUSA. Was loooking at their online catalog and there it is, a SS.

How about this: http://www.steelmasterusa.com/images/Re ... atalog.pdf

My Son and I put up a 30X30 steel building for a shop. After looking at, and receiving quotes from the other steel building manufactures, we chose Mueller Buildings. Good people to deal with and the price beat all the competition. Would do another Mueller if the occasion ever arose again.

SS mk. V 500
On the right side of Ward Cleavers garage. I always wondered how he made that table.

Another Shopsmith Sighting

Post by edski »

Just got my June 2008 copy of Creative Woodworks & Crafts magazine. The article 'The Wood Artistry of Jim Everett' shows a picture of Jim's essential tools - a portable thickness planer and his shopsmith. It's a 510.

They're everywhere!!!!!!
