Ok... I am a tool junkie... That's probably well accepted at this point... My favorite place in the world was a place called Woodworkers' Wharehouse... It was a nice store, that catered to woodworkers... (duhhh...) Well unfortunatly, just before Christmas, they all went out of business... Perhaps the best part of them being around was they stocked Freud rounter bits... After many years of useing routers, in mighly unhospitable circumstances, I've found the the Freud bits hold up better than any of the others I've come accross... Router bits are something you can't really stock enough of in your shop to cover all permutations, so it was good to have a place right down the street where I could buy whatever I needed... So now I am faced with the annoying task of finding a new supplier... There are online places that carry the selection, but that's always atleast one day and a shipping charge away... I need someplace I can drive to at night, on a weekend when I manage to ruin the last one I needed to finish a project...
All in all this sucks... Chalk up another store that got run out by places like Home Depot and Lowes... Those places are ok for some things... But you want anything beyond basic homeowner type stuff, and you're screwed...
