    Things were generally smooth, however I was unable to make an account due to some issue with my email. I think I get their confirmation emails late. I am happy with the purchases themselves. Selection was pretty good and was able to find what I was looking for

    Back when I first started I was using products from several companies such as yours. Many years ago I started ordering only from your company. On rare occasions I go to the local Woodcraft Store for things I just have to have now to finish a project. I do wood carving, gourd art, lathe work and what my wife tells me to do!!!!!!!!!
