Yes - - I would vote NO! Just don't need these dvds. and - Before buying any SS related item, I would want to see that it is endorsed by SS. - not just a shameless promotion. Yes, I'm frugal! Yes, I'm cautious! Yes, this is only one vote - and it is from an old grouch.

I don't have a problem with anyone trying to make a buck. Also, I understand the need for videos for some folks.

Here's the problem - -:

I think when we accepted the terms of what and how to post - we all accepted the statement that we would not use this forum for any commercial venture.

Also as others said home made accessories are always interesting. I like "Norms" videos where you see how it is done and get something built.

I agree with Paul I have never gotten my aux table and floating tables adjusted the way I think they should be.

What would really be neat is having a Shopsmith Demo'er build a new machine showing all the litle things they do so their machine works oh so smooth during the demo. I know some of their tricks and tips but I also know they have a lot more.

I also would love a full demo of the Overhead Pin Router. I think I want one but getting info on it's capabilities is hard. There is some good info now appearing on the forum. Keep it coming guys!!!

Also jigs and fixtures are always welcomed. I know many guys have built jigs and fixtures to overcome SS shortcomings and I would love to see them.

I need to be reminded of something that charlese has just made comment about. If we (members of this forum) agreed to any terms and conditions, I need a reminder. I may be very guilty to NOT READING something that I agreed to.

If anyone can tell how to retrieve the referenced agreement so that I night read it now, I would appreciate it.
