After reading Purdue's paper on the EA,I then hired a local company to treat them. Unfortunately, accord...

I purchased my first Shopsmith in 1983 from a state fair presenation. I arrived to my driveway a few weeks later. My other 2 Smiths were purchased used from craigslist along with a variety of the add-on tools.

I went to the show for a number of years. I didn't go last year as the number of vendors was way down the last time I went.
