So this shed shop is 8×16 and The ShopSmith 510 fits many roles here. One comment was what about drill press mode and it was time to drill parallel holes in the two back boards for the back frame. After I marked the boards, i set the table to position, i have the Lift Assist so the piston can raise the motor unit, And the new red castors roll very well. So with the fence ready i rolled the SS into the spot I usually stand at my bench and that’s the view you see. Drill press ready with fence to drill two rows of 6 holes in 4 boards from where I stand. Also my view of out the double doors to my backyard. I don’t often work with the doors closed even in December, its better to have another layer of sweatshirt or jacket than work in the box. So I clicked the remote for the Dust collector on the motor unit and did the holes in a few moments. A bit of clean up. Unnlocked the wheels. Rolled the SS back into usual place, a quick moment to set up the table saw and ripped the one board to match the other and also cut off about 3 inches. All took about half hour. Now this was 7:30 to 9 am and its fun because at 9 I came in and its already 99 degrees here in July 9th. As i send this, I still have trouble adjusting to not going to my shop just any old time I want like I did in PA. There it is 75 degrees, oh my. I am here to live by my children and this is my world. My SS is a 1980 model—I looked up the numbers—- with many extras, running well. I really am not sure about the upgrade to the PowerPro for the cost but if gifted I would not decline the offer. ( yeah that ain’t gonna happen for $2400 ) but who knows. Please keep up reading. I found Norm Abrams Plans…Classics from the NYW have his Adirondack chair is close to my plans if you want patterns, try some used book store or however. Also see his build on utube.
