Jeff, For "Speed Range" on your Shopsmith - check out the relatively "new" PowerPro Headstock and perhaps even the Touch Screen control pad they came out with earlier this year. Both versions are a significant improvement over the previous belt-driven headstocks. Additionally they both will run on 120v or 220v - with you only needing to swap out the plug; the electronics make the adjustment internally. And when you go the 220v route - you supposedly get a full 2HP! Sooo - you will get both speed and power improvements.
Let us know which route you go - the original PowerPro Conversion or the most recent TouchScreen PowerPro.

I do have a couple shopsmiths but have been looking for a used super shop for the extra capability. ( speed range and strength ) Cutting nested bowls is also of an interest as those jigs can get quite pricey. ( woodcut, Oneway, etc) It would be neat to see what you come up with.

In another kind of serendipity, I have dreamed up a design unique to Supershops for a jig that will turn accurate spheres and hollows and cut nested bowls from a blank. It's a metal working challenge outside the scope of this forum. Later....

I tend to prefer smaller checkering diamonds on things, but it's purely a preference thing. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and most beholders appreciate the thought and touch of a master more than the "correctness" of design, which tends to be a ghostly holy grail. Happy Thanksgiving to all. I'm grateful to have become acquainted with at least some of this group.

I agree the diamond pattern is slightly large for the handle but still looks great. Keep the inspiration going Curt. I did put my rotary table on my Revo last night so my heart is in the right place. We are just busy with pre-christmas orders. so my play time is very limited. Kind Regards, Timothy J.

Started working with bone again today. I made 3 handles. I have been playing around with new designs/shapes and patterns, to see what looks good, and find new possibility's that will work with what I am doing. The checkered handle is one of my favorite templates, but up until now checkering I've not done, The size of the checkering to the spindle, looks to big, as least It is not what I was hoping for, Perhaps, I should have gone smaller? The other two are nice, but perhaps a little on the thin side. Its all part of the learning curve here. If anyone has any idea, on designs and or detail elements, Please let me know.
