Shopsmith Forums

I was admitted to In-Home Hospice Care this week since I refused to do the Chemo treatments after much thought. Hospice will handle all my medical needs now. I have less than 6 months due to the Stage IV metastasis liver cancer that has spread to my pancreatic and kidneys.

So what I need now is to find someone who would be interested in starting a part time Shopsmith reconditioning, rebuilding and repair business. I would hate to believe that all the Shopsmith parts I have will end up at the salvage yard if I cannot find anyone. I have a 24 X 24 shop plus a 8 X 24 storage shed that is quite loaded with equipment, tools and Shopsmith parts, most which need some reconditioning. I am willing to finance this package. I believe it will take at less 2 very large U-haul trucks to haul all the items as it would include all the cabinets, benches, storage shelves, computer files and lots of documentation. All metal working equipment is included. I have a few new Shopsmith parts kits and packages that I sell weekly on Ebay for a nice steady income.

I will be happy to provide pictures for a first look at what I have. I have a spare bedroom for the person who would be examine everything that I have to offer and a place to stay while loading everything. Meals may be an option.

Please contact me at bill.mayo@verizon.net or 813-764-8343 ( after 11:00 am & before 10:00 pm ). This is located east of Tampa, FL. off I-4.

Oh my Bill. God speed.

Bill if one of your nurses is named Michelle she is my daughter, due to HIPPA laws she can't tell me if you are her patient or not.

Keeping you in prayer!

Bill, you've been a great friend and a wonderful help to so many. Thank you.
I'll spread the word and hope someone will carry on.

You have always been there for all of us when we had problems, always had the solution to our ShopSmith woes. Now we can only feel helpless to return the favor.
Thank you Bill for the problems you have solved for me.
Your expertise in all things ShopSmith will be hard to replace but I do hope some young person will take up the challenge and carry on in the spirit and efficiency that you have always shown.

... and I hope it happens soon so that you can spend your time and energy on family and on yourself.

My thoughts are with you.
