Coming Soon: Tool Geek Nirvana!
Some exciting things are happening in the woodworking world, and I for one can’t wait to see the chips start flying. If you click over to our Tool Preview story, you’ll read about a brand new line of tools that will be launched this summer. (Made by some good old boys who know what they are doing.) And any time you get a new player in the field, the established leaders often pick up their game a bit. The results? Nirvana for tool geeks like me, and good choices for tool users like you. And it is not just on the tool side of things where new products will be seen. Keep your eyes peeled for some cool new things right here in this eZine in the next few weeks. Like I said, when competition kicks in … the category leaders respond. I think you’ll like what the future will bring.
But don’t spend all your time looking ahead. Take a spin through this eZine and I know you will find fun, interesting and useful woodworking information … all at the click of a mouse. And you can’t beat that!
