Glad to see you back Drew. At home I use 'Parkside' power tools from 'Lidl', a German supermarket here in Europe. I believe they are made by 'Einhell' for Lidl, they are very cheap and excellent to use.

Three beeps during computer POST is bad, very bad. Sorry to hear about your issue, hope you get it sorted soon.

I do not like or use the accessory self because my legs run into it.

Actually made me sad, I’ve got parts of three cans.

Cans are selling for $100-150 on eBay now

At 4:25. Absolutely no safety guards above or below. Somebody shorted you when you bought it. There are guards made and available.

I just had to subscribe, as I like the way you tell the story......cheers from Florida, Paul

Pine Wood, I had the same bed frame.....

It you trim the peg down too far try ctrl-z. It works with most things.

Brilliant Drew, glad this video wasn't lost.

I don't think tool chests would be super useful for the type of tools we use. With that being said I do think theyd be cool as a collector. I personally use a sheet of plywood with screws to hang everything. I do have a craftsman tool box for the little items such as bits. Obviously shop organization is an opinion.

Don't worry man. You have plenty left to screw up. Huuuuge ones. Big time embarrassing ones. Oh I'm not helping...anyhow. the way you handled the comments, this video, and the fact that you keep plugging away, I'm not worried about you one bit. Keep getting better. You get a decent little bit of my free watch time don't waste it ;) (love the old PBS intros by the way. You do a good job with it)

One of the many reasons I held off for so long on making my own channel. So many rude people waiting to jump your case. If you know so much about these why are you watching a video about it? Where is YOUR video? Are you putting yourself out there? Seriously. There should be at least 4 new videos by guys claiming to be experts here. Let's see em fellas.

You got some really good shots on this one.

Thanks for these great videos! I have a Mark 500 (I think) with jigsaw SPT. I can't seem to line up the headstock with the shaft of the SPT. I have the straight mounting tubes for the SPT and not the eccentric one. ANY ideas would be appreciated.

You could shave several seconds off your time by using a long hex key of the right size instead of fiddling with opening a folding hex key set.

I really like your channel. I just bought 3 Mark V's Thanks for sharing your knowledge

Great Job on the Video.

The 3 arm handle attaches to the quill shafts (either side) it can replace the single arm. One of the handles can be loosened to attach like the single handle.

@08:46 That is a lot of movement! The biscuit slot you just made is worthless. I something not locked down?

I have an original Mk VII and was wondering if you knew if the new table and fence upgrade will work with my machine? If not, what upgrades will work with my machine? Thanks!

Great news on the computer.

My man, filming is hard. Sometimes your melon gets in the shot. Sometimes you get a nice undershot like you did early in the video. Maybe it washes out.

I enlarged the table opening with my router and used a table lift sized to insert a 3 1/2" router. It works well. I did align this table with the tables of my Mark so I could also make use of the guides on the mark tables.

Hals Wood Shop. HI I watched 2 of your shows this morning. the storage show and the band saw show. Now each showed like your former shows when you started an " attitude". it is time to change. You have a Shopsmith 520 and many accessories and more, more than others. Lets drop the whining...listen to yourself and voice....Step up..!! You have a GREAT Toool and time to promote it. Not the criticxsm and it can't. I have owned for 30 years and can brag about mine and my accessories. You ,,well just seem to list comlaints...not the benefits. lets get on the Shopsmith Band Wagon and off the complaint begger mobile.... What can you make ?????

I just bought a machine like this called the total shop on marketplace. I can’t wait to use it. This video made it seem so easy to change the tools it’s going to be a big help!

"deee deee deee deee deee" sounds like a stuck keyboard key boot error.

Your last video wasn’t good and this one isn’t any better? You look like you have no idea what you’re doing.

I know I forgot many thing, like the fence while boring, and made many mistakes. Thank you everyone who attended and I hope the next time is better organized.

Great video! Is the shopsmith router table made out cast aluminum? And is it worth waiting and looking for since it seems to be hard to find?

We have a Porter Cable route attached to our Shopsmith router table. We use it as a router table and a extension table when working with large sheets of plywood. Thanks for another excellent video,

I was just thinking of you yesterday Drew, glad to see you back.

Where do you get your blades for the moulding head?

How about some plans?

music is too loud in the opening. could barely hear your voice

Hey all. I know I put the blades in backwards. See my correction here: czcams.com/video/NWOdDcS9dJs/video.html

Well I won't pile on by stating that you had the cutters installed backwards, oops I guess I did. I have cut miles of moldings with my old '57 shopsmith green, each cut taking a special setup to hold the stock safely and securely. Keep at it, a shopsmith can do amazing things. I also have the router setup you showed in your next video teaser at the end, except I enlarged the opening and mounted a lift for a 3.5" full sized router. Using that table in conjunction with the shopsmith tables works well.

Oh my goodness, do your research before posting. The blades are on backwards! Like a router bit the cutting edge is the flat edge!!!

😊look on you tube for My growth rings. My go to for shopsmith information. I wont be following you to learn abput using a shopsmith.

It does look from the video that you had the blades in backwards, the flat side is the cutting edge and should face the direction of the spin. (Apologies if they were in the right way.) They are easily sharpened, just rub the flat side on a sharpening stone.

Like you, am very pro Shopsmith. have had a Mark V for over 30 years. My only cons were with using the table Saw and the troublesome tensioning mechanism on the belt Sander. Wish I'd bought a Craftsman 6X48 Belt Sander/Disc system Vs the Shopsmith.

You blew someone else’s vacuumed debris all over your back yard? Seriously?

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Just picked up a late 70s-early 80s Shopsmith MKV and know absolutely nothing about woodworking. I love how whimsical this video feels and look forward to future videos!

I think you did a fine job demonstrating the jig! Thanks for taking us along on the journey, Drew.

Excellent! I've been doing it all wrong and hating the results.This video will fix it. Thanks!

Another feature, gadget, add-on or thingy the ShopSmith does, what an amazing piece of kit. Brilliant, thanks.

You cut yourself short. Demo was just what was needed. I have one of those, but do not use it. After the first time, when my tools dulled in the middle of the project, I had to reconfigure from lathe to disc sander then back again to continue. I bought a slow speed grinder so I could move from lathe to sharpener and back - only takes a minute to complete. But you do have to spend a few extra bucks. I guess you could find a way to use the auxiliary drive on the back side of the headstock, and an auxiliary table, but you would have to be careful about speed with a project hanging off the quill.

I'm not sure how much use this has had, but I reolaced thevdust hood with a larger Powertec one from Amazon. It works great. I also highly recommend running it with a dust separator. The small, cheap ones work great and minimize bag changing and filter cleaning.

Is it possible to use this without the sandpaper to cut a long slot in plank?
