I have been a hobby woodworker since I graduated from high school in 1957.
Most of that time, I have had some sort of wood shop that I moved every time I moved. I did that a lot during my 23 years in the USAF. Several years before I retired from the AF, I purchased all of the major equipment I have in my shop today.

I have a nearly complete Shopsmith shop that has been built around a Shopsmith Mark V Model 510 that has now been upgraded to a 520. In addition, I have a Jointer, Surface Planer, Bandsaw, Belt Sander, Power Station setup as a Sanding Station and a miriad of other power and handtools.

I chose the Shopsmith primarily because I had to "keep it small, keep it mobile". I am no longer so mobile as I once was and I am no longer so cramped as I once was but I am hooked. I would not give up my Shopsmith unless I was told that I could never cut, sand or drill another piece of wood in my lifetime. Even then, I could not give it up because I have groomed three potential shop owners of my own. The kids and grand kids use the shop nearly as much as I do.

BTW, my schedule and woodworking needs have first priority in the shop.

Most of the time.

Welcome to Lumberjocks. The projects are an inspiration, the information is priceless and the people are supportive. The only problem is, the site can get addictive.

God Bless

Dusty, good to see you on LJ.
There are some inspirational woodworkers posting us their projects so I know you’ll fit right in here.

I’ll second 8Iowa’s suggestion, I love seeing the Shopsmith and accessories in action.
