I'm looking for a shaper

John,
You might want to check Lost Creek Machine in Ottawa periodically or even email them and express your interest:

Also Pete Welszen (sp? - PKE in Libertyville) is a pretty good guy to deal with.

There's a 7 inch shaper for sale in Tonawanda on eBay right now with a buy it now price of $250.00. Search for metal shaper and you will see it below the girdels.

Thanks guys, I called lostcreek and talked to the guy, nice guy...he is looking for one, will call me. Paul, I am looking into shipping charges on this...thanks for the heads-up :-)

The folks at Lost Creek *are* pretty nice and will even deliver within a reasonable distance of Ottawa (IL).

Too bad you are not in California. Ive got access to a very nice 16" Gemco shaper you could get for a bit more than pocket change

In the past few decades, a peculiar and distinctive psychology has emerged in England. Gone are the civility, sturdy independence, and admirable stoicism that carried the English through the war years . It has been replaced by a constant whine of excuses, complaints, and special pleading. The collapse of the British character has been as swift and complete as the collapse of British power.
