Hit has been a while since I’ve been on the forum. Trying to get back to it now. I just add a Joint-Matic to my collection. I got more to add as well since the last time I posted to now. Here a photo of three piece I just got.

Lotta interest in that 'extra' item last week!!!!

Thanks Dennis.

Thanks JPG for info on the missing crank handle. You had me confused for a minute on manual feed crank handle. I think you meant table height not manual feed of the current planer. But your also right the planers with the manual feed crank handle look the same.

A jointmatic angle attachment (tilt table or whatever) was sold on e-bay last week with several bidders. As was a nib os jointmatic just before it.

Having a planer like the second pix my thinking naturally was of it as a feed crank since my table height knob is also the round one.

The last week I started to get all my Shopsmith (accept for the 2 Mark VII and the 10ER) in the Van trailer and some what organized. Last night I’ve finished with that and realized I have some cleaning and waxing that needs to be done.

But now I got the floor in front of the Mark 5, Mark 7, Shelf unit and the tool boxes so I can get two lawn tractors, snowmobile, snowblower, motorcycle and some odd ends in the front of the trailer out. Then I can build a 8’x8’ loft 4’ off the floor in the nose to help make more room.

Almost all of this toolbox is my Shopsmith stuff.

What’s the backstory on the trailer? It looks darned cool, but if you’ve brought it up before, I must have missed it. Reminds me a bit of Ron Paulk’s mobile work stuff.

Well I bought it from my boss. He no longer wanted a 48’ in the fleet because we couldn’t get the bale count like we do with the 53’. I work for a hay and straw broker, we ship over a million bales out on Long Island.

I bought it to put lawn tractors, push mowers, snowmobile, snowblowers, auto parts, and supplies. I was remodeling the house trailer I’m living in. I didn’t own a Shopsmith at the time.

I’m hoping to build a three or four car garage with an upstairs out back of the trailer. Plus a 50x60 pole barn.
