I just saw the fliers today. 20% off until the Jan 15th. They said
they were doing well, but Rockler was still pulling the plug. I
always thought the guys at Rockler were more knowledgeable than the
Woodcraft people.

They will be sorely missed

Now I need to drive further to Woodcraft.


Two summers ago, they had hired a new VP Marketing, and were going to open
a bunch more stores. Something's changed, or the VP Marketing maybe wasn't
as smart as someone thought.

Or us woodworkers aren't an endless market after all. I haven't spent $200
at Rocklers in the last 18 months. Or Woodcraft, either.
