One day he dropped off a couple of...

    Drawer Slides Source

    Anyone have a good source for quality drawer slides? I may have asked this before, but am just getting around to actually picking up some. They are just for shop cabs, but I am pretty sure I can get a quality slide elsewhere for what the borg wants for the cheap ones.

    Source for sweet/red gum?

    Can anyone suggest a source for dried sweet/red gum near Raleigh? Given the number of these trees in my yard and the sweet gum balls I've stepped on bare foot in my life, I would have thought finding a local source would easier than it has been so far.
