Build in The Small Workshop #6: Shopsmith shelf and more part 2

Well that was not well done to get your interest so here I go. I use a 3/8 dowel on the left to hold the accessory coupler, just easy to find and grap. I color coded the ends on mine. I used Doug Reed.s idea for the saw guard and saw blade and have a hook on the left end of the leg stand for holding those parts. On my wall I have a chisel rack for 11 chisels with magnetic bar and a shelf below for the Nova chuck and some extra measuring sets. So far I don’t have a dedicated sharpening anything so we’ll work on that. I have a added the hook and loop set to the 12 inch disk so I have extra sand disks in a box rather than where they could get damaged. the wider shelf board lets me keep the push sticks I have and push blocks handy. I also attached my remote for the dust collector onto the headstock and added colored zip ties in case I took it off it could be found easier.
Since this is an 8×16 shed Someone might ask why did I buy a SS and it looks like it takes up a lot of the floor space, and since I was starting new from my move I had this choice. I could have bought a small table saw and had a benchtop drill press, and biscuit and dowel jig. So that covers a few SS features. Now I like to do lathe work, so at the cost of the HF not so good $400 lathe without tools and chucks and no casters. That comes to about $500. And I was rethinking I could buy a used SS like I had for about what the saw and that lathe would cost and get more other features, since I had already had one for 20 years before it was not like a Christmas wish but watch Craigslist and shop. Good for me I found one locally for $800 with band saw and jointer, manuals, drum sander, molder arbor, dado blade set, casters—-usually standard. And he had been the only owner. Sold me on this one. Same model 510 I had before.
I would say the only other 30 some year old saw that I have seen hold up are the old separate Craftsman table saws and likely you could buy some for 100 to 200 if you watch for those, and be pleased with it. I recently bought a Craftsman radial arm saw with no table for $15 and all it needed was some TLC and the table. I am smiliing.
