I recently attended the woodworking show in St. Louis area. Haven't been in a few years so I had a few surprises. The attendance was greater than before. I got there 30 minutes after the show opened on Friday and just barely got on the parking lot. Vendors had the convention center filled along with all the hallways and breakout rooms. Vendors included Powermatic, who had a large display, Woodline, Robert Sorby, Easy Wood carbide lathe tools, Bosch and Makita hand tools and several CNC router machines. It sure seems like Shopsmith could get more for their money on the woodworking show circuit than the Lowes demonstrations.

You forgot to mention that the "Woodturners of St. Louis." were there.

You got that right. I ordered my Power Pro at the New England Show last year. Doubt that a demo at Lowes would command the same level of respect... just saying!
