The Shopsmith Tool Fest

[dusty]

I wouldn't be able to attend because I am on a limited fix income budget but this still looked good to me. I'd think it might be a real attraction to some of the other members.

Sorry about the sacrilege but this was the easiest way I could explain it:

While many woodworking products are marketed under the Ridgid name, most if not all are made overseas by another company that bought the rights to use the Ridgid name. The only thing that is made Ridgid and in the US is the plumbing and vaccum line. If you look at the activities list they are going to be demo'ing plumbing type stuff.

I was thinking of Shopsmith doing an annual woodworkers' roundup.

That's a shame. Ridgid tools used to be made by Emerson, who started the brand when Sears cast them off in favor of cheap Asian junk. Those old 50's-60's Emerson-made Craftsman tools were often first-rate, like the Series 100 tablesaws.

Most tool companies have gone that route, heck, most manufacturing companies regardless if they make tools or not, have gone that way.

All is forgiven, but I expect two tenon joints and one hail shopsmith my child.

(I was searching for the right wording for this, but as I am not Catholic I had to try to get the information from my (at her own admittance) not very Catholic, Catholic-raised wife).
