    I came home and found THIS on my front porch...

    I came home from work tonight and found a Powermatic box on the front porch. Not having ordered anything (lately), I was curious what could be inside? Turns out it is a nice personalized Hudson waxed cotton shop apron, as a thank you for being a loyal customer. Also included was a 15% off coupon from the gear store (not machinery I’m afraid). How nice!

    My wife immediately commented ‘how much money have you spent with them anyway?’ Uhhhh......

    Reminds me of the old joke "I took my family to Disney and all I got was this lousy t-shirt"! How much do I have to spend to get an apron?
    Anyways that is an extremely nice gesture from PM. More companies should take notice.
    My Dad always told me "Can't Never Could".

    Well...you DO have an incredible amount of that mustard yellow in your shop, Robert...the least they could do is provide a matching outfit. On your wife's comments..."be afraid"....be very afraid.

    I've read that GREEN attracts the eyes 10x more than mustard...or Woodpeckers Red.

    Nice apron!! Martin Guitar used to send me stuff every now and then, that slowed way down after I got married.

    my first thoughts was just how much have you spent recently. I've blow'd a small bundle in the past year and a half, and nothing. So sir, my hat tip's to you!

    Well, in your travels, stop at Duluth Trading and get some pants with a LOT of pockets!

    I spent $30k on a panel saw, I had to twist their Swiss arms for a hat.

    Pretty sure I've got enough Italian equipment, Italy owes me at least an older Ferrari.

    When I sold my dad's Cadillac last year to the dealer in central Florida, they had a nice 1989 red with tan interior Ferrari out front. 8K miles. $100K price. No warranty.
