OT: Multinational supplies

JOOI was this after personal experience of trying to find anything decent in a "shop" ? Over the years, I've discovered that the best way to get something which is (now !) out of the ordinary is Amazon/eBay and job done.

Repair wrought iron railing?

But shop around. Have a new rail put on there, and pay that they charge, but shop around. Either way, you get it right. It's an important item, and needs to be done properly. My estimate ..... repair, $150. New, $350. Steve

Blacktop at 80 degrees

Any carpentry shop or furniture shop should be able to give you scrap pieces. There is also a small industry called "steel rule dies" that uses a huge amount of hardwood plywood. Check your local phone listings.

Miter Saw Stand

I also didn't install a shop vac. I use my dust collector with the saw. Or just hook up a shop vac. Instead I installed two pull out drawers. I store a dust hood and blade, stop blocks, etc. Darrell
