They have a very detailed catalog on line. That's where I got mine. I sold some off my roll to Santiago when he was here.

For example, my metal bandsaw from HF is great, used it quite a bit and no complaints. I also have their dust collector (which really helps keep the mess from the planer, jointer and router under control) and it too works like a charm. ...but things like the planer, and jointer, I went top shelf or at least with what got good online reviews. You can always Google "reviews" and the name of the tool your thinking about. There's a strong likelihood that if the tool is junk, you can learn from the frustration of others. If a tool stinks there is probably somebody screaming about it on-line. The alternative is Grizzly or Northern Tool which are slightly more expensive but seem to be a better source of tools. So, is HF a source of nothing but junk? No. Just do some research and you will usually be able to accurately set expectations on quality and performance. -------- Glenn Thomas N????? http://www.flyingwood.com Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p 5500#205500 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 08:27:52 AM PST US From: "Rick Holland" Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: new photos ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 08:36:32 AM PST US From: Jonathan Ragle Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: new photos It's just so beautiful.

I have seen it at Academy Sports, but I know that Academy is not located in every state. McMaster-Carr might also carry it. Hope this helps...

Am a little over halfway through the project. Wings done (that is a chunk of work!!!), ruddervators, rudder, stabilators, flaps, ailerons, front fuselage sides done. Have the right aft fuselage side almost done. And - have a brand new Jab3300 sitting on the basement floor waiting to be hung over this winter. It's been a really enjoyable project over the last two years. Have always had my eye on a Piet though, and that will most likely be the next project in the shop.
