Al,

It looks really good. If I get back in the DC area, I will give you a call. Would love to see it.

Jack, I'd be delighted to show it to you! I'm so glad I don't need to worry about making paddles, thanks to you!

Perhaps we need a victory tour where you drive around the country, city to city so us fans can come have a look see. Just strap it to the top of your car and stick some signs on the side then post a schedule here. Make it a summer tour and you could give us rides.....

The other option is to donate rights for the build to shopsmith to use for advertising. It would have made a great catalog cover or banner on the web page........
