If You

Don't Have Our Newest Catalog, You Will Definitely Pay More For Your Fine Woodworking Tools Than You Have To!

HERE'S OUR GUARANTEE

"If, after you have purchased from us, you see the same product(s) offered by another mail order firm for less money, we will, upon written notice and verification, not only rebate the price difference, but also pay you 10% of your net merchandise cost. For example, if you bought a Record plane from us for $50.00 and later saw the same plane available elsewhere for $45.00, we will refund the $5.00 difference and pay you an additional $4.50, being 10% of your net merchandise cost."

This guarantee is good until August 1,1983.

In this fine quality Tools-By-Mail Business, all of us depend upon a handful of English, German, and American Companies to supply a significant portion of our edge tools, wood bits, cabinet screwdrivers, measuring and marking tools, sharpening stones, tool chests, etc. Thus, by and large, much of the merchandise you see temptingly illustrated, in the several tool catalogs that come your way, is quite the same. Why then not buy at the best available price? Does it make sense to pay $122.95 when the same product is available from us for $99.95? Even if others lower their prices, you are still protected under our extraordinary guarantee.

In truth, there is more to our new policy than meets the eye. Of course, we want to be number 1. But also, we most sincerely want both professional and occasional woodworkers to experience the benefits and pleasures of working with the world's best tools. By making the cost of these tools competitive with the best of the mass produced products sold in every hardware and discount store, we hope to accomplish both goals.

I'm looking for plans for grandfather and mantel clocks.

L. Donald Young, San Antonio, Tex.

Our November/December 1980 issue included plans for a 17th century mantel clock. Back issue cost is $2.50.

Grandfather clock plans are available from Mason and Sullivan, 39 Blossom Ave., Osterville, MA 02655. For a copy of their catalog, send $1.00.

I am trying to restore an old family "New Haven Kitchen Clock". However, I am having trouble finding key wound replacement clockworks to fit it.

Mrs. James D. Cochrane, Eugene, Ore.

S. LaRose, Inc., 234 Commerce Place, Greensboro, N. C. 27420 carries a multitude of clock parts and movements.

Woodworking Club Notes

Editor's Note: During the last few months we've had several readers ask for information about The Society of American Woodworkers, which was mentioned in the '⁴ Workshop Income'' column of our September/October 1982 issue. Ken Strickland, who headed the organization, recently informed us that the group is no longer in existence.

Our local woodworking association, Peninsula Woodworkers, meets on the first Tuesday of the month and everyone is welcome to attend. The meetings are held at our shop, Palo Alto Woodworking, 820 Ramona Street, Palo Alto, Calif. 94301. This is primarily a social group to give local woodworkers a chance to meet each other and trade information.
