I really like the look and feel of the General, it has a longer better shaped boiler to my eye. Was a fun build, made with birch and a touch a oak. I used Narm Marshall's toy book plans to get the shape then went off and used a little Toys and Joys and the General at Gatto is in there too...

This skidder is made out of black walnut and big leaf maple (sawmill scraps I get at work). I spent about 120 hours on this project just trying to get all the detail in. This is my third model I have made, each getting more and more detail.

This is a project that I have wanted to do since the 1980s when I got my first new Shop Smith. I just never got around to it as back then I was building cabinets and furniture and helping build houses. I found the plans on Face Book the other day so just had to give it a try. I've owned 4 SS...

Staying home for several weeks due to Covid-19, I thought to symbolize the virus using a maple ball. (Pic 1) The red spike proteins are the signature of the virus; they interacts with the human receptor for the penetration into the respiratory cells. They is tall from the viral surface so that...
