Not only is this not a shopsmith. It's more expensive than the Cadillac I have for sale.
Must be made of adamantium.

For that price I think the magazines are a special edition that actually build the projects for you.:D

I'd give him the $35 for the Wood Magazines but I won't pay shipping and I can't afford the gas to drive there - about 120 miles. Eight gallons @ $4/gallons.

$225 for the scroll saw is reasonable but since I have one this is a no brainer. Stay home and make sawdust.

You guys did not read close enough. Reread the ad and then read my post above. He wants $35 for the lot of magazines and he has a scroll saw for sale for $225. Thus $35225 which obviously is a mistake made be someone.

If in doubt call and ask - 602-376-8649.

No, I'm referring to the $27,000 shopsmith. It's hand made, out of the finest materials this planet has to offer. It's motor is so strong that it can rotisserie a car. The way tubes are not way tubes at all, but tank cannons. I can go on and on...
