I see MSC stocks Vidmar. Even with my discount... Yee-ouch! Might
as well buy Mac or snap-On. LOL. Well maybe not. You don't have
to chase the MSC truck for 6 months if you have a bad item. LOL.


I would have suggested making plywood drawers with slides and perhaps
faces of red oak, which I spent the summer sawing into planks and
beams for future projects. However this morning I saw a 3' red oak
stair tread in a hardware store priced at $35, and larger ones up to
$48.

That's ludicrous.

The local hardwood yard has 5/4 red oak for 4.50 a board foot.
