Party in the Workshop with My Growth Rings!
2/5/2026
This week I had the pleasure of showing Scott from My Growth Rings around my workshop. We spent a lot of time talking about our love of Shopsmith machines and he was kind enough to share some of his technical knowledge with me. He even took and posted a little vid commemorating our time together.
If you are interested in Shopsmith machines or need advice from a wonderful community of likeminded folks, make sure to check out both his YouTube channel and his official site at MyGrowthRings.com
