Dancing with My Shopsmith

[@larrydannatt7571]

That was great loved the video.

[@benalmandres8851]

Mr. Young, Awesome training step by step setup video instruction, I am looking forward to owning a Shopsmith hopefully soon. Knowing and familiarizing yourself with the equipment, proper set up for each piece and following the training procedures. In the Army as Infantryman, we use three phases when it comes to preparation and training (Crawl/Walk/Run Phases): The Crawl Phase- Introduction and familiarization, The Walk Phase- Dry Run of Movement Technical and Tactical and application procedures and finally The Run Phase- Rehearsal, Rehearsal, Rehearsal so we become proficient in accomplishing the task.

Glad it was helpful!

[@williamSmith-fv5hi]

Owner since mid 80.s and I picked up good useable tips. Thanks P. S. I love my Power Pro.

[@todaysshopsmithwithmichael7852]

Glad it was useful. Watch for more.

[@ellisreeves8936]

Thanks for the info. I am doing all the set ups the time consuming way. You can bet from now on I will be very conscious of my movements. You and SS have a great 2022.

[@todaysshopsmithwithmichael7852]

like wise!!

[@todaysshopsmithwithmichael7852]

good for you

[@billmclaughlin8438]

Great video Mike. That cleared up a number of things for me. I’d like to see more of the same kind of thing. I liked the ad to. Pretty slick. 👍

[@todaysshopsmithwithmichael7852]

Thanks a bunch. More coming.

[@1964Mooney]

Thanks for a great video Bought my first SS last year after I sold all my individual wood shop tools due to space limitations after moving and I love it. I can do everything I want and did and more with the other tools in 1/4 the space.

[@todaysshopsmithwithmichael7852]

That is awesome!

[@petewoodhead52]

Dry Running. Practice, practice, practice. 😁

[@todaysshopsmithwithmichael7852]

you got it!!

[@ronallman6055]

Just received my new Mark 7. This is a great tutorial as I get it up and running.

[@todaysshopsmithwithmichael7852]

Yay!!!! all good???

[@bobharper7014]

Very informative useful tips for 2022. What a great way to start off the new year! All the best! 👍

[@todaysshopsmithwithmichael7852]

Thanks.

[@frankalbert7934]

Thanks Mike. Like others below, I've been taking too many steps to get to the power switch so, this video helps clear-up a few things and stay proficient and efficient.

[@todaysshopsmithwithmichael7852]

Glad I could help

[@daveschmitt6369]

Just checking Boise Craigs list, some one is selling a 510 that you sold to him back in 1994. How cool is that.

[@todaysshopsmithwithmichael7852]

Ha!!! probalby lot's of those folks around here.

[@MyGrowthRings]

Happy New Year, Mike! I hope you make 2022 your best year ever! Scott

[@todaysshopsmithwithmichael7852]

Scott... thanks. you have a great one too.

[@johnhoshock9034]

That was an excellent video, Mike. What a great way to start out the new year. Thanks and all the best to you in 2022!

[@todaysshopsmithwithmichael7852]

you are welcome for sure.

[@Therealphantomzero]

What do you say to those that say that this isn't a professional tool?

[@todaysshopsmithwithmichael7852]

I'd say they have never used one.

[@varmit7286]

I'd like to see how others have setup their Accessory Shelf and what modifications or custom designs have been used.

[@todaysshopsmithwithmichael7852]

I know folks have done a lot of different things.

[@MrBeechcrafter]

Great video Michael. I have a question about horizontal drilling. I have a 1984 Mark V and when making pepper/salt grinders and drilling my holes with a drill chuck in the tailstock, I get flex that can cause the holes not to be drilled straight when making 10-inch grinders. I will drill half and then flip the end into the headstock chuck. I've done primarily Spectraply, so the wood is somewhat hard and I drill at about 400 rpm with a 1 1/16 inch bit with a bit extender. I try not to use too much force while drilling. Any ideas about a cure or a better way to drill. Thanks for the help.

[@todaysshopsmithwithmichael7852]

I would speed the RPM up. This will take out a considerable amount of play in the bit and extender.

[@MrBeechcrafter]

@@todaysshopsmithwithmichael7852 Thanks for the help. I just figured that a Forstner bit that size should run at a slower speed.

[@todaysshopsmithwithmichael7852]

@@MrBeechcrafter Mostly but you have some added variables there with bit extensions etc.

[@budsmith4183]

Hi Mike. Good show. I have been a Mark V owner for 32 years. I still love working with my old V. I would like a accessory shelf. I have looked for plans many times. Do you know where these can be purchased? Thanks. Bud from Tennessee

[@todaysshopsmithwithmichael7852]

no plans available. Most folks just make there own

[@johnsellars187]

Great video. Helpful. (Question/ new Mark 7 owner)… Are there any 1 or 2 dry-run classes we can attend @Home Office? Regional?

[@todaysshopsmithwithmichael7852]

Afraid not

[@curttundra]

Fantastic job! Very informative. I have the Power pro headstock and double tilt setup. Have not tried the under table routing. Have read/heard from other SS user's that routing at 10K rpm isn't worth the trouble. What has your experience been routing with the PowerPro? Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to what you have planned for the channel this year. Curt.

[@ellisreeves8936]

I find that the Power Pro does quite well at routing. Of course the type wood makes a difference even with a dedicated router.

[@todaysshopsmithwithmichael7852]

I personnaly think the router is one of the best things the PowerPro can do now.

[@curttundra]

@@todaysshopsmithwithmichael7852 since posting my question I have done some under table routing. Put a 3/8" 45deg chamfer on a hardwood cutting board and 1/2" x 1 1/2" mortise in some 2x4's. Worked perfectly. I have some Shaping cutter bits and will be practicing some with that next. Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback.

[@todaysshopsmithwithmichael7852]

The shaper is the real test...good luck

[@daveschmitt6369]

Thanks for your video. Been a user since the mid 60s with my dad’s Mark V (he owned a 10ER in the late 50s after the war). I upgraded to a 510 4 years ago. I’ve been making the typical mistakes you describe. Looking forward to a couple of dry runs when this cold front passes the Boise area. Question for you, my safety switch went out and I ordered a new one on the phone, my 510 has four wires, one blue, one black, and two white all with male connectors. The switch has two white and two black wires with female spades on them. The replacement switch has four male spade connectors, they included two black pig tail wires with female spades on both ends and one white wire with male pigtails on both ends. So I’m missing one wire and the white one I can’t use. Is there any reason I shouldn’t go to the box store and buy some spade connectors and make two white wires that work? Thanks for your help.

[@todaysshopsmithwithmichael7852]

Thank you too.

[@sealteem5]

Give me a break give you a break. Mike is still doing the same presentations as he did 50 years ago. Look at everything he doesn’t do much more really oh my God the car salesman is really coming out Mike . This is incredibly freaking crazy of the people that don’t get it show him something amazing and new.
