Super ShopSmith

Jeffery and Bryce Craigie of Fowleville Michigan rebuilt this Shopsmith as a Father-son Project.

You can't imagine how much Bryce taught his dad about bearings, cleaning and painting.  Next, he's going to work on his turning skills.

This is one great looking lathe.

Sharing Information!

This is where I'll put all my tips and hints from years of turning and listening to the masters of our world.  I give credit where due.  If you have one, share it with the world of woodturners.
