	I told Diana during the news this evening that that had to 
be fairly close to you.
	Making lots and lots of shimstock may improve your fire 
extinguishing capabilities...   :-)
Take care and keep us posted.

	I have created a local Shopsmith users list for my area. 
It is described as follows:
This is to be a list for Shopsmith owners and want to be 
owners in the general area of Indiana. If you are across 
the line in OH or IL that is fine too. I don't want to draw 
a hard line but I hope for all members to be within a 
reasonable driving distance of each other. This list is for 
sharing woodworking tips and stories and Shopsmith tips and 
stories but also is to be used for the buying, selling and 
swapping of Shopsmith tools, accessories and parts between 
members of this list.
