Shopsmith Forums

I also sent them an email before posting in the forum. Thanks for the suggestion. It's appreciated.

I'm a professional woodturning demonstrator/instructor that uses my Shopsmith for many of my projects.
I'm wondering if they are looking for someone to demonstrate woodturning during this event, and who I can contact to find out.
Any info about this will be much appreciated.

I do believe the woodworking store he was talking about in his 'rant' is called 'Woodworkers Emporium'. I've been there more than a few times and order from them online.

For those who have never been to one, sure it will be great experience for them ...
