They are moving to a different part of the building, if they haven't already. Do knot know about the address, but would think they'll keep the same one?

Shopsmith will be in the same building. They will move their offices and manufacturing to a much smaller area. There will most likely be other businesses leasing and moving into other portions of the building.

Jim's wife said that there will not be any downtime due to the move. She said that she worked at Shopsmith for thirteen years, and met Jim there.

NICE to have friends in the right place(s)! Thanks for the straight scoop!:)

Dusty,
I am jeolous of you you said you have one oreder on back order. I have three now and most likely more to come. My only fear at this point is that they decide to come in all in the same month and then bam goes the credit card. I have budgeted for it but it still hurt to send those big check to the credit card company when it happens.

Well Dusty,
I guess I spoke too soon I just looked and my biscuit jointer shipped today. That was fast. So I'm down to two BO's
SS 500 upgraded to 510; SS bandsaw; SS jointer
SS Oscillating Drum Sander; Universal Lathe Rest;
lathe duplicatior, shaper fence and shapers; SS Belt
Sander

Don't be jealous, I had three other back orders that have cleared over the last few weeks. So far I am lucky. My charges got spread pretty well over time.

Now I have to figure out how to get a piece of the Tax Return when it comes.

You expect us to remember over TWO MONTHS ago? I do well to remember 5 minutes ago(as to WHY I came into the room I am currently in from where I was).:D

I do not believe an address, only that they leased space in the same 'building'.

I did not post an address. I stated that the lease was for the space that they "now" occupy.

Just go read it, Beeg. You posted the link. You know what I wrote. :(
