Had some time available and the need for a cabinet scraper so decided
to take a run from the office in Trenton to Woodcraft in Downingtown,
PA (took about an hour one-way would be 2 hours from home).

WOW! They had hardware, hand tools, power tools, workbenches, vises,
a classroom and even a decent selection of lumber. I could have
easily spent hours in the store.

Here are a few places I know of in NJ
Lumber
http://www.willardbrothers.net/
Tools
http://www.forcemachinery.com/
mainly power tools
http://www.awmeyer.com/
Never been but I believe it is mainly power tools

Now that I am ready to take on bigger/better projects I need to get
some *real* wood and that seems all but impossible in NJ. I have
tried several places and most only carry 1x stock and the selection is
usually poplar, pine and sometimes maple.

So does anyone know of places in NJ that sell wood or tools?
What about online suppliers?
