1.
Working with Wood Composites -- If you're
looking to make your outdoor projects last, the longest-lived
material available is wood fiber and plastic composites. Includes FREE PLANS
for a composite Adirondack Chair. |

2.
Truing the Table to the Drill Chuck
-- For most drilling
ops, the table must be square to the axis of the
chuck – front-to-back and side-to-side. The equipment
needed can be made from
a carriage bolt and scrap wood. |

Cleaning and Inspection -- In Part
2 of Shopsmith
Reborn, we tear down the headstock of our 1964 goldie,
clean each part and sub-assembly, and decide which parts must
be replaced before the Mark V will run safely. |

4. Drew's Interludes --
First,
Drew shows us how to to use winding sticks to gauge if a drawer
is flat or twisted.
Second,
he takes advantage of the propensity for wood and glue to
"creep" under pressure to straighten the twisted drawer. |
