As the title suggests I used to do a little wood working but life got in the way:eek:
Been wanting to do some turning projects, pens, bowls, etc. When I started looking on CL for lathes I saw several Mark V's. Did some research, found this forum and as of today I'm a new Shopsmith owner. Just parked it in the shop and will work on cleaning it up tomorrow.

Looks like mostly dust. It should clean up nicely. Welcome to the forum. If you're going to use it a lot, I'd upgrade to the pro headstock. I did and what a difference.
