Shopsmith Forums

As a 20 year employee of USPS as a Rural carrier I can understand peoples frustration with our system. However, I would like to point out that the USPS is trying hard to correct the tracking system failures. I know from the packages I track they are scanned when picked up, scanned when they hit loca...

Small miracle that any SS made prime time. Either Harmen is a really good actor or a true woodworker but I swear I could see love in his eyes for the machine.

While doing the upgrade was fun, in the end I spent almost as much as a new...

I then invested in a Freud General purpose blade for all of my cutting. It did well until about a month ago when one of the teeth fell off...
