    Finally!! I did it!!

    I went to Highland Woodworking for a $10 item, and got out of there for under $100. Hadn't happened before, IIRC.
    When I started woodworking, I didn't know squat. I have progressed in 30 years - now I do know squat.

    What a great accomplishment! Now your new goal is to go in for a $10 part and come out with only the $10 part!

    That's sick--just sick! You are making the rest of us look very, very weak!

    Kent, once you can do that at Lee Valley and Felder as well, you're cured!

    Maybe you can develop a 12 step program!

    I have the same problem no only at tools stores but at HD, Lowes, grocery store, sporting goods stores. It seems like it is always a $100 min.
    Thank You

    I can do it at woodcraft all the time, of course that's because the service is horrible unless you are looking at festool products or lathes.

    I hate giving up on the local retailer, but I'm done.
