Given that we don't have Woodcraft, Rockler, Tools for Working Wood, Highland Hardware, Lee Valley, Lie Nielse--a general dirth of woodworking supply options in this part of the country, I thought some of my fellow Mid-Southerners would want to know . . .
I dropped in to our humble local woodworking retailer, The Woodwork Shop, the other day hoping against hope to find a decent featherboard and some dark wood glue. To my surprise about half of the store had been transformed into a Rockler!
As I understand it, the store is now an authorized reseller of Rockler products. Anyway, they've added a bunch of Rockler signage, bins, and their inventory is greatly expanded--much more hardware, Rockler router tables, finishing supplies, and power tool aids.
Floyd still does his Saturday seminars, and they still have a lot of their old inventory (General Finishes and power tools).
No Lie Nielsen or Veritas hand tools, though.
