I want to applaud the generosity of the many vendors that made their products and services available to us for our Fall 2011 raffle. Without their support, our fundraising efforts would fall short of our needs to maintain the high standards for the website and for the many ongoing activities we...
Thank you for putting together the group buy on the Bessey clamps. I think I now have enough for awhile!! BTW, if you haven't toured Bobby's shop, do so if invited but be prepared for major shop envy!! I wish I had time to fully explore but the wife was waiting in the car :embaresse

I remember someone who did well making custom wood mailboxes as a child. I just wanted to tell the pros that it might be a good idea for them to get into that.
