He has been on my mind as well.
You beat me posting our concern.

HI,
This is Charlese's Son, Steve. Dad passed away 2 weeks ago after being bed ridden for a couple of years. As I go through his stuff I found out that he lost his ability to log into the forum in 2018 or 2019. It has been really great to see that Dad added value to this site. He loved helping people and learning everything about Shopsmith. I have no room to store all of charlese's Shopsmith stuff. I would be greatly appreciated if this community could help me find a new home for his Shopsmith. The closer to Lancaster CA the better.
Again it is great to see that Dad had such a positive impact on this group that he was missed in his absence.

So very sorry to hear of his passing. Charlese was a great contributor to this forum. He has been and will always be missed.
Sorry I can not help with the task of distributing his gear. I have that task now myself.

Allow me to add to what Dusty and Nuhobby posted. He was a great asset due to his experience as a forester(?). His sharing his knowledge of lumbering and the characteristics of our favorite medium that we all work with will be missed.
He has already been missed here!
Thank You for letting us know.
I hope someone near Lancaster can assist you. If not there is Craigslist.

Steve,
Thank you for sharing this with us and please add my condolences on your family's loss.
As JPG already said about selling his tools the best would be locally like craigslist and/or similar. If you need help identifying items, we would surely be able to help with that.

Steve:
I also offer my condolences to you and your family.
As many others have said, Charlese was a mainstay of this forum for quite some time. I enjoyed his posts and his comments on mine were valuable to me. I am saddened to hear of his passing
He has been and will continue to be missed!

Steve,
Thank you for sharing this information with us. If there is an on-line obituary, please post a link to it here so we can read about the rest of Charlese's life.
I never met your Dad in person, but he truly was an inspiration and much beloved member of the Shopsmith Forum family. He had a prodigious knowledge of forestry, wood, woodworking and Shopsmith tools and he shared that knowledge freely whenever anyone on the Forum was having a problem they couldn't solve on their own. I personally benefited from your Dad's knowledge more times than I can count. To this day, when I'm having an issue I often search the Forum for a solution and usually your Dad is the guy who had the answer!
He was also always ready with a friendly "attaboy" (or "attagirl") whenever I or anyone else posted a picture of a completed project (even if it was not half as good as he could have made it himself).
Condolences to you and your family for this tremendous loss.
Sincerely,
Alan G.

Thanks for all of condolences. Dad loved his woodworking. If there is anyone in/near Lancaster California I need to dispose of all of Charlese’s ShopSmith equipment. Please DM me for specifics.
