YUPP thanks, not one thing wrong with homemade . Now the steel to build that would cost ya $500.or more.
 
I love it bill
 
A great story about a wonderfull build. I'm sure it must be the smallest actual working shaper ever. It's a great treasure. Keep it safe.
 
About 15-20 years ago here in western Mich, there was a shaper about the same size and looked very simular. Beautiful little machine. It was at an estate sale and I was gonna buy it. Since I already had a bridgeport mill I really didn't need a shaper no matter what size. For what I do, it is way too small so it would be just a converstion piece. They had it working and it worked great so I bid it up to about $250 and it sold for about $350. I wish I would have bid more.
