shopsmith

I recently picked up an old Shopsmith MKV for free. We tore it apart last week, cleaned it up and started using it as our new drill press and horizontal boring machine (amongst other things...).

Here is my tele output jack alignment jig. Screws down to the table and indexes the bodies for drilling.

Here is a body on the machine ready to be drilled.

And the final product. Not bad for a 50 year old machine!

tele's



Just a few tele's in the rack right now... most of these are going out including the left handed one (first lefty I've gotten to make!!). The crummy cell phone shots don't do it justice, the lefty one has just gorgeous grain.
