Most Controversial: Grizzly Tools - What is Your Opinion?

We asked you what you thought of Grizzly and you told us, loud and clear. I was amazed at the number of positive responses and yet there were still a few of you who don't think Grizzly's ready to come out of the woods...

Like Henry AKA "ToolFool" from the comments: "I have bought 3 Grizzly tools in my life and never again. I am sorry it took me 3 times to learn not to buy them."

The Story of a "Forum Assisted" Woodworking Shop: Frank Pellow's Shop Build Journal

I met Frank Pellow at FamilyWoodworking.org, a woodworking forum that spun off from the behemoth SawmillCreek.org. He's the epitome of a good woodworker, always striving to improve his craft AND the craft of those around him. But only if they ask ;)

 

He wrote, photographed and published a step-by-step account of how he built his woodshop and included all the advice he got from forums along the way. It's an inspiring story of community and perseverance and we're proud that it's our second most popular story of 2007!
