Shopsmith Forums

I am looking for ideas on how to store my Shopsmith tables. This includes the main table, 2 fixed tables and 2 floating tables. Also telescoping legs. Specifically I am looking to hang these items on a wall. No use reinventing the wheel! A sketch with dimensions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any input!

Just copy the one SS sells. Dimensions should be easy to figure out.

I store my system components this way. Bill V

Thank you both for the ideas.

I made a system nearly identical to the Shopsmith system using a "wheelbarrow" hanging bracket from Ace Hdw.(possibly others source it) I cut the bracket in half to give me the two that I needed and used a piece of 3/4" copper pipe to hang the tables and legs. It's raining now so if I remember later I might could get a picture.

Here's what I did. It doesn't handle all the pieces you describe, but it does handle the tubes/extension table pieces.
I'm not sure where I got the idea- likely from the SS wall mount. It just used some small scrap 2x4 odds and ends.

My tables are stored on the accessory cart I made. On the back of the cart is the table storage which in the picture below currently has 4 floating tables (2 from the Mark 7 and 2 from the Mark V 520) but a main table can be stored in the middle. The wooden hooks hold 4 connector tubes and there is also a table support tube on top of those. The support legs hang on the ends of the steel tube with the tables and a pair of Infeed/Outfeed Extension Table Brackets. The wood brackets are made in a similar pattern as the Shopsmith metal brackets and backed by a 2x4. The knobs for locking the connector tubes in the table rail(s) have to be removed from the table(s) in the middle at the top and are stored above the table(s) in threaded inserts, as seen in the picture. The extension table is stored in holes drilled in the top of the cart backed up underneath by a 2x4 partially drilled through. Two 5" connector tubes are stored in holes going through the top and rest on the inside bottom of the cabinet. I built this cart when I had just a Mark V 520 but now I think I need more table and accessory storage having both the Mark 7 and Mark V 520. If I make a second cart I will likely have a similar table storage on the back.

Thank you all for the ideas. I will be using variations of your ideas. Thanks again!

Thought there was a more recent thread on this subject but this is the one I found. Here are some pics of my wall storage for all my heavy Shopsmith parts.

The big white thing at the bottom left is my homebrew cut-off saw, it can stay there for now. Still have some space left up there and then some more space to hang up light weight items like saw guards, finger boards, push sticks, etc. Small parts stay in the tool chest, I don't like having them out where they can get disappear like so many other things have over the years. Those are probably not the saw blades that will stay up there, they just happened to have arbors on them.

Ed,

Looks good, but I have to ask...there are two very beefy tablesaw fences (non-Shopsmith) in the 1st pic. Do you have a standalone tablesaw? If so, why not use it instead of getting longer connector tubes and more extension tables for your Shopsmith?
