Welcome

Dear Woodworking Friends:

I’m thrilled that you’ve chosen to view and participate in our all-new Woodworking Forum, sponsored by Shopsmith. We developed this special forum to provide an environment where woodworking enthusiasts at all skill levels can share information and ideas that will enhance their woodworking experience.

Here at Shopsmith, we refer to woodworking as "The Unselfish Hobby". That’s because most woodworkers typically utilize their woodworking “hobby time” to make things for others. They’re also quite willing (and, as a rule, even eager) to share their knowledge of woodworking with others…inspiring them to develop their own skills in this richly rewarding pastime.

Shopsmith is dedicated to the growth of the woodworking hobby. To that end, we try to build and market only the best woodworking tools and products…and support our owners with project ideas, woodworking tips, education and informational materials to help them grow their skills and use them to create better projects. In short, we want to be your “Lifetime Woodworking Partner”.

Hopefully, our sponsorship of this forum will give you yet another great reason to join our partnership of over a million Shopsmith owners. I thank you sincerely for joining our Woodworking Forum and invite you to participate frequently. And please…feel free to contact me personally with any ideas you may have for improving this forum.

Thanks Again, Happy Woodworking And Happy Posting.

Bob Folkerth
President, Shopsmith Inc.

Nice to see a Forum here at Shopsmith. I freequently visit other forums and have learned a great deal from them. I can't wait to see what topics come up here. I have been using a 10ER and MarkV for several years in my guitar making business. Shopsmith is a great tool. Hope that I am winning a new Shopsmith for being the first post! :)

Bob,

Thanks for the forum page you have setup. It will be interesting to see how well it does in the future. I hope it does as well as the SSUSERS Group on Yahoo which I am sure you are a frequent visitor to. I will be using the forum on a regular basis.

Regards,

HI Bob
Thank you for starting this forum. I am eagerly awaiting the success of it.

Since one can create a shortcut to the forum site on their desk top, I was wonder if an icon looking like a shopsmith could be created. Then when one creats a short cut on their desk top the icon would be created on the dest top instead of the default one (with the big blue e)?

I'm excited to see this forum. I've owned my shop smith for several years but I don't get to use it very often. I look forward to gaining from everyone else's experience.
