Default Shopsmith storage

Well that sounds something like what he had started to build. Did you have
any plans to go by, or did you just design and make it yourself?

Thanks for the input.

Try the shopsmith group on Yahoo groups. It is a fairly large
shopsmith groupo with a couple thousand registered users last I
looked.

There are many different versions of these torage units for the
"Special Purpose Tools" or SPTs. Mine is simply two 2x4s with legs and
pairs of holes appropriately sized for the Shopsmith tools support
posts drilled in them. I stuck caters on it. It is essentially the
same length a the Shopsmith so I can put several SPTs on it shove it
against the wall, shove the Shopsmith up against it and store a whole
workshop in about a 6' by 4' space. I currently have the jointer, 6x48
belt sander, 1" strip sander, and jig saw on it along with an
extension table. The bandsaw is on the Shopsmith.

Prior to my fathers passing he was putting together a stand, or storage
shelf kind of thing to hold many of the Shopsmith accessories, band saw,
belt sander etc. He was not able to finish it, and I, out of
sentimentality
I suppose, would like to do so. Unfortunately, I simply cannot find the
plans he had purchased long ago. I looked on the SS website, along with
their companion magazine "Hands on
" site to see if I could locate ea copy with no luck. I have also raised
the
question on the SSUG board to see if anybody there has a copy, no response
yet.

Anybody here have an idea of what I refer to? Got a copy? I would really
like to finish it.

Thanks for the help guys,
