Letters from
Shopsmith Power Tool Owners
Here at Shopsmith, our mailbox is constantly stuffed with great letters from Shopsmith Power Tool Owners, talking about how they use their tools and what they think about them. Here are some excerpts from just a few of the thousands of letters we’ve received from the members of our Shopsmith Family of satisfied owners throughout the years. We hope you’ll enjoy reading them as much as we have.
Man looks forward
to retirement with his MARK V!
Roger Schmuke,
Sullivan, MO writes . . .
“I first saw
the Shopsmith (MARK V) on TV. This man was talking about how . . . My
machine will do this -- and my machine will do that . . . Once I understood
what he was talking about, I told my wife . . . This is what I've been
looking for all my life! Well, I finally got one and once a year, I add
one more addition such as Planer, Jointer, Bandsaw, etc. I've had
so much enjoyment and made so many things -- you wouldn't have enough
time to read about them all.
Now, I'm making two
grandfather clocks . . . one for my sister and brother-in-law, and another
for my wife and I. There are so many things I want to make with my MARK
V when I retire that I feel like I just can't wait . . . but I guess I'll
just have to. In the meantime, I'll just keep chugging along, project
after project!”
Two generations -- Two MARK V's
Robbie Teele
of High Springs, FL writes . . .
“In 1970, my
father bought a Shopsmith at a garage sale and built a house with it.
So, at a young age, I knew about Shopsmith and always dreamed of having
one of my own. In 1998, my friend, Morry told me about his uncle who had
passed away 10 years before.
His aunt was in the process of moving and came across the old Shopsmith. She wanted to give it to someone who would enjoy it as much as her husband had . . . and Morry knew that I was that person. In January of 1999, I brought home my Shopsmith. I completely disassembled, sanded and re-painted it to its original colors and ordered some new parts to rebuild it. I finished the job in March and it ran great.
My father still has
his Shopsmith and uses it regularly. There are now two satisfied MARK
V customers in the Teele family!”
