I'm not sure if I'd care to try making one of these or not. I'm
sure I could make one, but one of the benefits of buying one store
bought you've got somone to sue if the bit flies out - hard to sue
yourself. Some things with wirley parts I've got no problems with
making one, table saw for instance, but I just don't think so on
something like this. But that's just me.

I dunno. That thing looks like it's got "HOSPITAL STAY" written all over
it.

Don't worry, nothing will be lost. The shop apron has pockets for
storing loose appendages!

"Once up on a time" people exhibited ingenuity and resourcefulness. I have a
book showing many good wood woodworking tool you can make. It is probably 60
years old or so. You could just use a drill press, equip it with a speed
changer (step pulley between motor pulley and drill press pulley) make an
auxiliary table with movable fence. You would need the adaptor to replace
the chuck and mount the shaper cutter.

Wonder how well the drill press spindle would withstand the side
loading in the long run.

Hey! don't badmouth the shop apron. If I didn't have mine I would never
find a pencil. or a tape. or a screwdriver. or my square. or my ass for
that matter.

Isn't it amazing what these old mechanic's publications published before
every other person on earth was a lawyer?

My mom got me a copy of "The Boy Mechanic" back in the late 1950's or the
early '60's. It was a compilation of projects from Popular Mechanics that
were aimed at young men. Some were for youngsters; but one of my favorites
was a engine/propeller driven ice boat capable of speeds in excess of
100mph. Just what any kid needs.

On the order of the "go-kart", before there was such a thing, we built in
the 50's from an old 5hp Briggs and Stratton, a sheet of plywood, wheels
from old wheel barrows, a centrifugal clutch found in a junk pile, and a
pillow block or two for the axles. Everything else provided by basic 'hand
n' foot' co-ordination.

Brakes!? ... we don't need no steenking brakes!

.... and at that height, it felt like at least a hundred!

I suppose that the words 'ingenuity and resourcefulness' would
cover people going over Niagra Falls in a barrel. A few of them
actually lived through the experiene.
I've got several books showing how to make things, most of them
well over 60 years old. Most of them I would have no trouble making, if
I was interested ithat particular item. I draw the line tho at going
over the falls in a barrel, and in making a homemade shape following
plans like that. If, for some depented reason, I did opt to make my own
shaper, I would make my own chuck, something I would be sure that would
work, not just a drill chuck. I'm willing to take a calculated risk,
but not a needless chance.
