Basically nothing.
Dave is retiring and Jimmie is a very good friend of Dave. Dave mentored Jimmie thru starting his BoxMaster line of tools. My understanding is Dave approached Jimmie about buying the business. If anything the fit and finish will go up as, well, Jimmie is even more ah, anal, about quality then Dave is (full disclosure, both are friends close enough we go out to dinner with both of them and their wives, Ellen works in Jimmie's booth and had her beaded vessels on display in Dave's booth, to help show what Dave's beading tools do)
Dave is in his 70's and both his and Lou's health is not what it once was. Jimmie's wife Cindy will be retiring soon and will handle most of the business end of things (Cindy is an IT geek for the Navy)
Making sawdust mostly, sometimes I get something else, but that is more by accident then design.
