Shopsmith Forums

Dusty - This metric shows that the majority of referrals are coming from Shopsmith , not neccessarily the forum. I think that is probably expected. If their primary medium is e-mail, I think almost all of the e-mail links take you first to shopsmith.com. I think it is probalby more exciting to see t...

My first thought was that you didn't use a splitter and the grain of the wood simply twisted the wood back into the blade as stress was released.

I wonder if those (router, shaper) will be the 2 new tools for the 5+2=7 c...

Both have very detailed drawings, so they are great if you (like me) are still not quite ready to start designing your own furniture and jigs completely from scratch. Shopnotes is really good when it comes to technique. So you will learn a lot about...
