They called! They called!

Post by artman60 »

Got a call from Fedex this morning, they want to know what day next week to deliver my ShopSmith. It's coming Tuesday. Of course I don't have the basement near ready yet, and I still have 3 jobs for friends and family I need to finish before I get a weekend off, and I start school 2 nights a week on March 1, for 20 weeks, so realistically it will be late April before I'm assembling/aligning the SS. (But having it in the basement is plenty of motivation). The bandsaw got back ordered. I feel like I'm 12 years old, and it's Christmas! I'm almost a sawdust maker.

I agree with Bill. It will be perfectly aligned when you put it together. Check it of course, but my Mark 7 was spot on. Didn't need to adjust anything.
