I drove 4 hours with a friend to visit a lowes in Southern Oregon after getting a letter about a Shopsmith showing from Lowes, when we arrived no one know about it. A serious waste, I have asked my local Lowes and they seem to know nothing about Shopsmith. The times Shopsmith have been to Portland it as been to a home show and they usually have a old 510 with older bandsaw and none of the newer accerrories. I was interested in the new Bandsaw fence and the person knew nothing about it.

We have a huge woodworking show in the fall but Shopsmith never shows up. Every other company in Woodworking you can name is there selling product not just demonstrating. In June (Friday June 29 - Sunday July 1, 2007) we have an international woodturning show and again Shopsmith will not be attending.

They also have a Portland SIN (Special Interest Night): Demonstrator rooms open to Special Interest Groups on Friday night. Email Angelo Iafrate if you need a room for your group. If we have enough interest maybe we could have a Shopsmith room.

I just received a flier for the Wood Working Shows (sponsored by Wood magazine) to be held here in the Seattle area. Shopsmith is not mentioned anywhere on it. Seems like a good place to demonstrate and take orders for accessories to me.
