Yes. This.
856 is south jersey, just across the river from Philly. People don't follow area codes much these days with cell phones.

Sort of tells you this is not something you want to get involved with. Heck, I'm in NJ and my BS antennae tells me this sounds like someone who wants chinese pricing for US quality.

First thing that came to my mind was if he’s in philly he can find a hundred Amish shops that could do that and probably pretty cheap. Why ask here?

From what I've seen, the Amish play it up big that they are Amish. There is a local store that sells "Amish Craftsmanship" pine tables and Pie Safes, and when I look at how they are constructed, all I see is pocket screws, lots of glued butt joints, and brads.......

But the screws and the brads are all hand driven right???

Mine is telling me that he/she/it is a spammer, just building the post count up. Then later, he/she/it will lay in some mined spam links, maybe BBQ flavor.
