Re: Curious about prices

Interesting graph, thank you for posting that. It's easy to to gripe at the "damn kids", but you also have to remember that many younger folks live in areas where wood working is not possible. If you live in a tiny apartment in a metropolitan area, you won't both looking for hobbies that y...

You didn’t accidentally turn off javascript did you? It’s kind of hard to do this accidentally, but it could cause problems.
