Shopsmith at the Woodworking Shows?

Post by greitz »

Great news!

The linked ad from The Woodworking Shows would lead one to believe that Shopsmith will be exhibiting the Mark 7 at The Woodworking Shows this year. YAY!

Mark 7 at WW shows - Interest??

Post by charlese »

It simply blows my mind that the forum guys have lots to say about FWW ad showing the Shopsmith emblem, and much to do over critical comments of the Shopsmith, and quite a bit to say about demos at Lowe's or on line, but have nothing to say about these woodworking shows featuring a Shopsmith Mark 7.

Does no one care? Is anyone going?

Now the show in Nov is about 10 miles from home. Heck, I could still walk that :rolleyes: and save $$ for parking. Used to be free at OC Fairgrounds but they charge now.

That's for the heads up Gary and Chuck

I'd go if there was one in my area but there is not.

Dusty, the last one I went to at, or near the fairgrounds, was pretty poorly attended. And, the exhibitors were pretty sparse.

I would love to get to one. The New England show is the nearest one and a beautiful 6 hour drive from our place but travel in January is too iffy for me so I guess I will pass.

The Indianapolis exhibition building is always packed during the winter show. I'll certainly see it.

I plan to go to the Baltimore show. They no longer have one in Northern Virginia.

Yes, I know that that has happened. I have no explanation but I suspect it was poorly advertised in this area. The last one I attended I became aware of in a casual conversation with another shopper at Woodcraft. Had it not been for that accidental meeting, I would not have known.
