Old ShopSmith Ad

I have been cleaning out my collection of woodworking magazines and came accross the attached Shopsmith ad from the February 1991 edition of Canadian Woodworking Magazine.

This was back in the days when they had demonstrations in malls accross the country and a few retail stores. One was located close by. and was one of the reasons I bought my Shopsmith in 1992.

More later on several projects I have been working on.

Take care and stay safe.

Well, I guess that puts me in my place! :D

At 80, I thought Iwas getting old along with my Shopsmith, but I feel much younger now. :)

Have fun and stay safe!

John

PS: Great fun comments.

My wife likes to sell things on ebay. I'm told the preferred term is "vintage."

On Craigs List 'vintage' means 'rusty'.
