NEWS UPDATE: July 4 2011

In all fairness to my friends and customers, I think it is time close the shop. I have been trying for many months to find someone who might be interested in taking Home Shop Supply, but no takers that were serious. In the meantime, I have struggled more and more to fill the orders that continue to come in, and fallen more and more behind.

This is not fair to those who want and need parts for their lathes, and it is unbearable to me. I have spent my whole life meeting my obligations, and being exceptional in performance has been part of that. Now, I am ashamed at the time it takes me to ship even the smallest orders.

I intend to fill all orders that have been received, and try to clear the inventory that I have. However, I have decided to accept no more orders at this time other than parts on hand and ready to ship. Maybe, in the Fall, if health improves some, I may open for business again.

I have been greatly surprised that no one else has jumped in to take the business. All my adult life I have dreamed of owning this, a niche business with customers worldwide, with no competition, with outstanding quality parts that I could be proud of and with the ability to expand, in short order, to several times current sales and products. For me, it just came too late in life, with unexpected declining health to add extra burden.

However, the hardest part has been done: web sites written and established, recognition gained, drawings necessary to produce parts complete, sources established, printing masters for manuals and others complete, masters to produce decals complete, software for web site and file transfer acquired, and a myriad of other details complete. Yet no one sees the value enough to consider it.

If this comes as a surprise to you, try an email and include a phone number.

If you have an order that is open with us, you might send a reminder in an email. Probably not necessary just yet, but it couldn't hurt either. You can also ask for a refund and receive it immediately if the order has not been shipped.
