A Bench Shaper, hand operated. - Rifleman01 - 12-16-2013
For some years I have been looking for a small shaping machine and a couple of years back I found one for sale locally. See :-

If you read down the first page there is a link to an American site that produces kits so you can make one for yourself, the maker is a Gary Martin and the last time I checked he was still making them. You have to click on the download order form and you can see the prices. In total a full kit costs US$ 365.00. Beware there are other 'good kits on this site, it could get addictive.
Mine is in a fully stripped state currently with everything being worked over, lightly repaired, cleaned and painted. It's going to look very nice when its finished.
