If anybody would like to restore or repair a shopsmith you can still get parts at shopsmithparts,com This site has some of the more hard to find parts. They also sell atachments to convert to a metal lathe.
Well done. I have and use that same band saw in my own shop. I bought it used at an auction about twelve years ago and it still works great. It has done alot of work for me, and Im glad that its one of my tools.
Nice beginning intro into woodworking, enjoyed watching. Thanks.
Good initiative in creating a woodworking video. I would take an extra minute to address safeties for the bandsaw guard and safe disposal of the finish rag. It's even good to show a little mistake, because you can explain if certain mistakes really matter or maybe even show how the project can be repaired.
so the chunk taken out at the end could be made into another box. Then you could have a jewelry box in a box (in a box?). Kind of like those russian stacking toys.
Response to ulyssesyt - not true. The Shopsmith Bandsaw is one of the best power tools made specifically for woodworkers. Most bandsaws out there are metal cutting saws, adapted for woodworking. The Shopsmith Bandsaw was "designed" as a woodworkng bandsaw. Besides, Jewelry boxes can be made on ANY bandsaw and even scrollsaws!
You're an idiot. Table saw, jointer, planer, radial arm, router, miter saw, shaper, drum sander. All way more expensive than a descent band saw. So WTF are you talking about.
I know THAT YOU MADE THIS COMMENT 2 YEARS AGO.. bUT FOR THE RECORD...i GOT A MAGNA (SHOPSMITH)
BANDSAW FOR $75 ON CRAIGS LIST..
CLEANED IT UP NEW BEARINGS.. A 30 YEAR PLUS UNIT RUNS LIKE NEW AND AM MAKING JEWERLY BOXES. sURE YOU CAN BUT NEW FOR $500 OR EVEN 10+ FOR $200..BUT THESE UNITS ARE ALMOST INDESTRUCTABLE..FOR WHAT A GENERIC CHINA VERSION CAN BE HAD YOU CAN HAVE ONE MADE IN AMERICA.

Shopsmith 11" Bandsaw is for sale online for $490. Beautiful unit, but that's a hefty chunk of change.
