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

Re: A Slow Boat To Nowhere
It's what I would call : A work of art.
Thanks for sharing this with us.

Re: A Slow Boat To Nowhere
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........
