You know, I was just doing what I find myself doing a lot, which is going over posts and videos by Smitty, and looking at his gallery. Of all the members here on the forum I think I have learned the most from him. Which is probably because between lots of pictures and plain language I can understand him easily (I have very low I.Q.) The range of his experimentation and the sheer volume of his projects is more than admirable, it's inspirational.

I think of Smitty as the Thomas Edison of Slingshots.

Smitty's a great maker. The smaller of the two slingshots he sold me was one of the very best symmetrical slingshots that I have shot. It featured great design, careful fit and finish and an excellent bandset.

I like Smitty he's a very smart and talented slingshot maker, I'm always interested in what he has to say..

[NoSugarRob]

I liked his how to shoot vid.... taught me a lot.. seems to have taken it of now.

[A+ Slingshots]

Absolutely, I agree with all those statements!!!!

[whipcrackdeadbunny]

He seems like a nice, honest man; and he made a slingshot (I forget what it's called) it had some of the strangest shapes and angles to it, looked great though. He also had a little trouble with his health, hope he's ok now.

You write very well. I think you underestimate your intelligence.

Thank you folks so much for the kind words. I haven't been doing too well lately. Spent four days in the hospital with several kidney stones and still trying to get strong again. I haven't been working in the shop for about two weeks and miss it a lot. I've got a few ideas to try, but just don't feel strong yet. I've been taking dilaudid for pain and it is yuk on the body. I am off of it now, so things should pick up soon. Thanks again for your compliments.

[Dayhiker]

All the best to you, Smitty. Get well.

[NaturalFork]

[Jaybird]
