BEST VIEWED WITH FIREFOX OR NETSCAPE! Click here to go straight to evaluation Have you ever wanted a Shopsmith but thought that the cost could not be justified? Read my story and see how you too can get your dream machine delivered to your house for a no-risk 90 day trial!
I was introduced to this woodworking machine 30 years ago at a demonstration hosted by a local shopping mall. After watching the complete demonstration I vowed that someday I'd own one. 30 years later this long time dream has finally come true and if you've ever dreamed of owning one, now is the time to do it. If you've never seen a Shopsmith in action then by all means request a demo DVD. It has truly been a joy to work with it. I couldn't believe how easy it was to buy it! |
Why did I buy Now? With my credit in the basement I knew financing was entirely out of the question. This was the hurdle that kept me from my dream machine. Well, back in March of 2007 I was online and decided to see if Shopsmith had a website. My visit netted me a peak at the upgrades since I last saw the Shopsmith in action. I also ordered a demonstration DVD. About a week after the DVD arrived I got a phone call from a gentleman named Stan Whelan. He was very forthcoming with all of the information I requested. This guy is good! He suggested that I just try a credit application to see what possibilities might be available to me. With a "nothing ventured nothing gained attitude" I decided to take Stan up on his offer to process a credit application. So he and I had several phone conversations until I had finally put together what I considered the bare minimum configured system that I would need to start a small woodworking business. Stan then submitted my application and I think it was two days later he called me with the results. To my dismay and chagrin he told me that I had been approved for a 6 year term for the entire amount of the purchase! I didn't even need to make a down payment. Whats even better is it was low risk to me. I could use the Shopsmith for 90 days with a no risk return policy. If I didn't like it, I just ship it back! All I would be out is the shipping. I discussed the matter with my wife and she agreed that if I could earn enough with the Shopsmith to cover the monthly payment then it would be worth giving it a try. I decided not to pass the opportunity up. I gathered all of the cash that I had stashed away for a rainy day so that I could make a down payment and not finance the whole thing. This brought my monthly payment to $75 a month. I figured I could easily make the $75 per month building and repairing things for other people.
I placed my order in mid March and by April my machine had been delivered and I got my first "hands on" with the tool. |
