Lookin' fine!

The detail that really grabbed me was the black border around the edge of the jigsaw table. I appreciate good design when I see it, but I'd be a very poor man if I had to make a living creating graphic designs.

Your thread titile suggests that you had/used a Shopsmith thirty years ago. What's the story?

Ouch!!!

Sounds like you're on the come-back trail, though, hobby-wise. We're all looking forward to seeing MIB II (Machines in Black, the sequel)!
