I was wondering where the majority of the LJ's purchase their supplies, tools, finishes etc? I am not going to ask for internet purchases, just in-store.
Do you prefer Woodcraft or Rockler?
What is the major deciding factor on where you make that purchase? Location and or proximity to home/work?
Why do you prefer one over the other?
What are your impressions of Woodcraft?
What are your impressions of Rockler?
Have you attended any of the classes offered by either?
If you had an opportunity to invest in a store which one would it be?
Have you had any bad experinces with either? How do you feel it was handled?
I am very seriously considering a franchise with Woodcraft. In our area we do not have ANY local suppliers of quality woodworking tools, equipment or lumber. The closest hardwood supplier is 2 hours north or south. Its not too far to drive but when you need a small amount to finish a project or build a small project its too far to go.
As far as tools go all we have is the normal, Home Depot, Lowes, OSH etc, and that leaves a lot to be desired.
