shopsmith a turning issue

[reible]

Catchy title hey?

I was out looking for some idea when I came across this:

The guy is sitting on the lathe!!!!

So now I'm thinking.... not a good idea when you are bit crazy... how about adding a saddle to the shopsmith when you are looking for the bit of extra weight??????

Can you picture it?

Maybe a new function for the MarkV... bull riding.

Really not too bad an idea Ed! I might try it if I ever get into bowl turning! Could probably use a pony saddle. I could even strap on a pair of chain saw chaps to protect against big wood chunks.
