Tom,

It does to some people, and I was wondering if the owners' background or views on certain social issues might be reasons why some avoid shopping there.

I'm not saying it is right or wrong to make decisions based on those factors, though.

Some people are always yelling about shopping LOCAL.....well...Woodcraft Store is on the EAST side of Columbus, OH...90+ miles one way away....and, Rockler isn't any better driving -wise....a no-brainer for me.    I can also sort through and pick out the items I need.

When you're struggling to find the right hardware, a quick trip to a craft or hobby store like Hobby Lobby can save the day. Restocking essentials like handles ensures you're always prepared for the next project! And what is related to travel, you can find here all the information https://www.westgateresorts.com/vacation-packages/
