I just received a 'blog' from John Econamaki, Bridge City Tools, Portland OR. announcing the sale of that firm to Harvey Industries, of China. In that announcement, John announced his pending retirement.
The Bridge City line of tools has enjoyed a special place in my wood shop for several decades. I am forced to admit I only have a few of his tools. However each tool I posses is absolutely an excellent tool.
I do wish John well in the next phase of his life. I trust Harvey Industries will uphold and continue the tradition of Bridge City Tools.
