The bike is displayed on my version of Alex Moll’s “tubular” stand that I built in August, 2022 of Black Walnut, Red Oak, and Purple Heart lumber.

Here I have drilled one side. For those of you beginning woodworking it is a wise to place a scrap piece of wood underneath to drill into. This prevents the splintering of the wood you are drilling as the drill bit comes through the backside. This small project does not require a stationary drill press. Now the shopsmith does turn into a drillpress. So for the beginner having a battery drill can be a useful tool to acquire as well as a selection of drill bits.

Here the finished product. I keep a store of nuts and bolts and was able to get some to work. Also note that because of where I live (Kansas) the high humidity causes rust on steel. My shop does not have heat or air conditioning so the temps and humidity are not controlled. I don’t have the answer but a constant oiling is needed.

Nice vintage apron that would make a great addition to any collection!

Thanks Dad! (95 years old)

Shop smart. Shop-smith. ——————————————— This Shopsmith has it all! Lathe, table, drill press and drum sander! Maybe more! The top pivots upward for the press to work. Some rust but still in working order. ——————————————— Dimensions: 42” H x 58” L x 15” D ($225) ——————————————— #cjreuse #shopsmith (at Construction Junction) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsqQaCThQpZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9ed7l7t5dx1q
