Shopsmith's educational program, including Hands Online!, the Sawdust Sessions, Video Shop Tips, and the Academy are all the latest victims of this country's financial woes. Drew, Katie, Liberty, Buddy, and I didn't want to leave without saying how much we have enjoyed and appreciated your interest, support, and kind words. I'd like to tell you that we will be checking in from time to time, but we're going to have to make our way through the most hostile economy in eighty years and I don't expect we'll have much spare time. Still, I feel we'll see each other on the Internet sooner or later. Until then -- Keep your corners square!
With all good wishes,
Adios!

God Nick, I am sorry to hear that. I personally think SS is making a big mistake, but what can we do... The best of luck to you and Drew. You WILL be greatly missed.

Adios
A sad time for the Shopsmith community. I know Nick and Drew will be OK given their talents. The economic mess the world finds itself in at the moment will cause pain for many of us. But, the sun will come up tomorrow so keep smiling because those are free. I have SS stock and I too wonder about their viability in this hostile situation. Let us hope they will be able to survive and can find the financial liquidity they need. When Toyota suffers a
32% decrease in sales for September you know things are bad. Everybody take a deep breath.

Nick,
You will surely be missed not only for the direct educational aspects but also for your words of wisdom that you present to us here on the forum. I wish you & Drew the very best and do hope to continue to see your input on the forum for however long this is up and running.
I am an optimist even though I have gone through having the major company I worked for go through bankruptcy. Eventually I was let go from the company a few months before they were bought up and came out of bankruptcy.
Good luck to you both.

Nick and Drew - Thanks for all the hard work - it was great. God bless you both. Alec

Thanks from me too!
You have helped me get started in woodworking - and I greatly appreciate it. Without the support of your videos and the excellent help from this forum, I wouldn't have begun.
The $1000+ I've spent with ShopSmith over the last 2 years can be directly tied to my experiences with the Academy and forums.
I look forward to catching up with ya'll somewhere else on the Internet!
