Shopsmith Forums

Im really not sure if i can ask to sell my SS on this forum? but if i can that would be great. I must say the only reason im selling it is I bought another newer model. So if this post remains after tommorow i will give more info on pricing,location and such. Thanks, Allen

Well I too have fallen off the map not going back either i know i live in the sticks but come on!

Wow! I have two people close to me i mean within a stones throw Church Hill is about 30 minutes away(and where i bought my doberman pup who loves to lay right in the way when im turning).This is very cool thanks for sharing! Allen aka No Name

The barracuda chuck takes an...
