Great, thanks for having this great service!! Ed
Just wanted to say thanks, it arrived today and works great! Haven’t used this machine since i was a kid in my grandpa’s garage. He started my woodworking interest and taught me many life lessons as we worked out in the shop. You run a great business, thanks. Anthony
Hi Jacob, I finally got my shopsmith back together last week, and with the new motor bearings, it just hums. I never knew how it was supposed to sound until now. Thank you for your help! Jim
Thanks, Jacob. Another satisfied customer. Jim

Jacob, I received the headstock. Everything looks good. Thanks for the quick turnaround.
Hope you have a great Holiday Season! Take care, Terry
Mr. Anderson, I binge watched all of your you tube videos today so I would have a full understanding of the inner working of the machine. To say the least, I am very impressed how you have carved out a niche with the internet so you can have a cottage industry and reach out, literally, to the world. Congratulations, you are a unique man. Incidentally, watching your metamorphosis through the videos when you are visible, is interesting.
My parts inventory is usually about $20,000 in cost. I stock everything I could possibly need for Mark V headstock repairs, and I sell over 80 items in my online store for maintenance and do it yourselfers.
