=> WOODWEB Launches Shop Gallery
Professional woodworkers are encouraged to create a free
shop listing at this new area. Include a description of
your facilities and equipment, photos of your shop and
the products you manufacture, and even a photo of your
shop dog!
We hope to build a resource that will not only provide
insight to how the pros set up their shops, but will
also allow visitors to review Shop Gallery listings
based on what type of product the shop produces.

age your furniture is that you can be picky and precise
in designing the end results. Here, the task is to create a
conservative crackle.

When a contractor failed to pay the large chunk of change
he owes, the stiffed shop owner did some research,

not playing by the rules. Is there any way to make this guy pay?
