Can anyone tell about this machine?

Lyle Peterson has a series of videos on a Rhodes shaper he bought. The first one is here and it should help you get started.

Hi and welcome to the site ,Mr Pete should be on all newbies watch list . I went to vokie for 4 high school years in 1970 - 74 then did apprenticeship for a few more years. But I like to watch him , reminds me of some of our shop teachers. Good ole guy I say.

Thanks, Silverbullet. I only had shop for a year, and no machine work— they just hit some high pointsin woodworking, electricity, mech drawing etc. It even included typesetting. I doubt that's taught anywhere anymore (we're talking mid sixties). Mr Pete is filling in my deficiencies...
