Finally, a thorough look at my new digs. Now my hope is that this shop is just temporary, until we sell the other house. But until then, I can make my 3-car garage a comfortable place to produce great projects! Enjoy the shop tour!

Just before we moved out of our old house, I received a complimentary set of tools from Grand Slam Tools. I figured you guys would like to see them for yourself. Grand Slam Tools is a small company run by fellow podcaster Tommy MacDonald. Their initial offering of products include high quality wooden marking gauges, baseball bat mallets, and paring blocks. You can buy the items separately or in a 4-pack to save a few bucks. Check out all their offerings at:

Tools.com – New Tool Website
Just want to give you guys a heads up on a new and potentially awesome site, Tools.com. The site is only in beta right now but promises to be a great resource for all tool buyers. The primary function of the site appears to be price comparisons. Site owners Alex and Jim say, “We knew the last thing the Internet needed was another website selling tools. Instead, we thought, why not make a site that compares tool prices from the Internet’s best tool sellers?” So imagine you are in the market for a new drill. Simply find the drill on Tools.com and you’ll immediately have a quick listing of the current prices at various vendors. This is a site to keep your eye on. If they deliver on their promise, its going to be an incredible resource!
