Need a little help with a baby cradle
I’ve decided to build a cradle for an upcoming grandchild, and have (pretty much) settled on a glider type. I’ve been bouncing around the web & I’ve noted a couple things. First, there’s no real standard size mattress f...

This looks like a great place to spend some time. I’m glad to have found it. I do my work on a 54 year old Shopsmith. I learned my basic woodworking skills as a kid from my dad who bought it new in 1952. I had more separate power tools, but sold or gave them away so I could “get back to my roots”, so to speak. I guess a lot of purists would fault me for this, but sometimes when I’m working with this machine, I can almost see my dad there watching over me…telling me to be careful. There’s really a lot more to the story than that, but why start out here by boring everyone to tears this early in my tenure -SST

Hi there
thanks for the shop advice.
I believe also that having the ability to move a bench for any and all the reasons you mentioned is a good idea.
Thanks again

It’s that time of year again, just a little reminder that you are approaching your 4th anniversary as a Lumber Jock. Congratulations!
BTW: I think that you hold the Wisconsin record for longest continuously active Lumber Jocks!

Good day. In the process of looking to purchase a shopsmith, I found myself at your Lunberjocks comments. I’m not finding any great deals on Shopsmith such as you had found, but picking is much slimmer here in ND. Interestingly however, I’m going to be traveling right through Wausau in a couple of weeks. Each yeaqr we spend Thanksgivings in Wapacu, WI. Do you know of any Shopsmiths that I might be able to bring home?
P.S., thanks for your insite and comments about Shopsmiths.

I might. I don’t have any extra right now, but I may know of one. Can you give me an idea of what you were looking to spend? Sometimes when I find a machine, especially if it’s older & not run for a while, it needs (or at least should have) all the headstock bearings replaced. I can do this and really don’t need much for my time spent plus the cost of new bearings. If I know where you’re at, I can see if I can make it work for you. Or if you want to rebuild it yourself, that’s fine. Then I only need to figure the actual cost of the machine. -Tom
