At this time we are currently under a Stay At Home Act for the State of Ohio. That being said we are still able to process orders but we are unable to ship anything out at this time. They are expecting us to be shut down until April 7th or until further notice. I apologize for the inconvenience at this time.
Thanks,
Shopsmith

I don't have any orders pending for now so it doesn't personally affect me, but if I had a pending order, I wouldn't hold it against Shopsmith to do that to protect their employees. I don't want to see any of them getting sick anymore than I would want to get sick myself.

I'm willing to accept changes that are necessary to protect people. My Wife and I are staying at home. Today it is 8 days for us and we don't have any plans right now to break our self-imposed quarantine. We have an order in to our local grocery store for home delivery next week so we can stay in for a whille longer.

My Spring outdoor projects are on hold and likely will not happen this Spring. Maybe in the Fall if things are different. To build these projects, I would need to make a trip to Menards for materials, but right now I'm not willing to do that.

I ordered the T-Nut kit this past weekend and received an email today that the item has shipped. They must have some staff working.
