Shopsmith at WoodCraft

[dusty]

Woodcraft stores are all franchises. I suppose Shopsmiths are up to the franchisee.

All except for the 27 that are currently "corporate stores". In addition to those, there are approximately 70 locally owned Woodcraft stores.

I bought my MK V 510 From Woodcraft in Salt Lake city in 1994. I still have the original sales receipt. The head stock is dated 2 Jun 94 and the sales receipt is dated 24 Jun 94. They were having a special where you got an SPT for $99.95.

Here is what I bought...

MK V 510 1999.95
Jointer 349.95
Band Saw 99.95 List price 379.95
Shop I 197.95 List price 219.95 As remember this had
safety gear, apron,
castors etc.
Treewax 6.95
Japanese Miter Square 8.95
6" Engineers Square 14.78

Total 2678.45
Tax 167.40

Grand Total 2845.85

The total discount was $302.00.

Edit: How do you post things in columns? I have tried tabs and spaces and the forum ignores them.

I am going to be in Dallas tomorrow and if I get time I will drop by the WoodCraft store in Plano to see if there's anyone there heard anything rumbling about it ....

Do you know if this store that is hosting the demo is corporate or franchised? I would think corporate but I have no idea.

According to this list, they are locally owned.

I just got off the phone with the guy in Dallas and have a will-call pick up there waiting for me tomorrow.

He said demos are coming in May. I read the document in the link above and it confirmed: "More Woodcraft store events are in the works. Don’t miss the Dallas, Texas Woodcraft Store Event on May 6th & 7th."

So things are warming up again. That's good for all of us.

I just got off the phone with the Colorado Springs, CO WoodCraft(franchise). The store manager just went to a WoodCraft conference within the last 1-2 weeks and didn't hear anything about.
I also called WoodCraft customer service and asked them. They said this "deal" is not a corporate thing. Only certain franchise stores will be working with ShopSmith it seems.
