Get your act together, Shopsmith. Try to bring your web talents up to the standard of your other products. And, oh, btw....when a good customer sends you dollars and recommendations on how to improve your mailing list, how bout saying something other than "get off our mailing list!?!?!" I...

I used to get emails weekly as well, but haven't gotten any for several months except announcing the Father's day sale and Owner's weekend.

Nick- great idea! For those of us who want to help but have more $$ than time, would you consider setting up a system where we could send monetary donations to help with the prizes?

The information has been very helpful and has given me the confidence to try things that I normally wouldn't consider attempting. I've studied your videos prior to deciding to pur...
