Shopsmith is back under new ownership

An email went out to the Shopsmith mailing list last night saying that they are under new ownership. Here is a link to the browser version of the email from Mailchimp.

TL;dr:

They are back under new ownership.

They are working through the order backlog, hoping to ship all back orders by the end of February.

They plan to build up product inventory again.

The forums are back.

They are planning on putting out more content (demos, projects, classes).

This is good news! Their website hasn’t been updated yet, but I bet that will happen soon.

Here’s a video with the new CEO:

I’m hoping for more access to discontinued parts and accessories, videos on how to maintain and upgrade old machines (mine is 50 years old!), and new tools/parts/accessories to upgrade old machines like mine to keep them going for another 50 years.
