this is really great stuff, Mark. thanks for sharing your wisdom and skill with us. Could you possibly help me build something similar to this for my old Total Shop (shopsmith clone, but stronger I believe)? I'd be greatly appreciative!
@blueholygrass Did you see my web page? Someone did a Shopsmith conversion. My regular email is hicklerbanjo@gmail.com. Easier to communicate directly.
I fabricated the base out of square steel tube. The lathe head was from an asian lathe. The brand name was "Bulldog" but it is probably made by the same factory in China as the Harbor Freight or Grizzly lathes. Virtually any similar lathe head will do.
