Wow, your experience is somewhat different than mine. I have a Woodcraft store about 20 minutes from me in Eastern PA. I was actually there this past Friday as they had a 10% off sale. I picked up my 10″ Eclipse vise, which I’m in the process of installing. I also picked up a veritas 14tpi dovetail saw (so I can begin working on the box projects from WWMC). Both with their 10% off.
These folks are friendly, will order out of stock products for you (no shipping costs, you just have to go back to pick it up).
I was having a problem adjusting one of my planes, and I brought it in one day and they helped me fine tune it. It’s been working wonderfully since.
Granted, they do cater to the power tool community. They also push their own brand (Woodriver). I guess our area must have a different woodworking community, as there are plenty of chisels, gouges, carving tools, calipers, planes, etc in the store. Some are low end, but then they have the better hand tools. I won’t buy all my tools there, but they know how to use the old tools so I guess I’ll keep going back whenever I need a little bit of help.
