I’ve actually been finding more American made stuff lately just the other day at lowes I bought this

That's awesome. I look many times and sometimes theres something that's hecho in USA, but many times there are no alternatives when buying new.
Just posted this in the good morning thread, but this is one of my favorites, it's big!
Honestly, I felt guilty for buying the Predator engine. I've been looking for a used Honda but everyone wants a mint for clean ones and the cheaper ones look like they have about 5000 hours on 'em. It became a matter of convenience, unfortunately.
Don't do that to yourself. But, grace is an awesome thing, and today is a great day for remembering that
.
For an item like that I usually buy them off Craigslist or "offer up". If I needed a splitter quick but mine needed an engine, I'd buy a used splitter and get my wood split, then buy the motor later if I couldn't find one.
I like getting the little cheap stuff from HF. Hand tools, disposables, odds and ends. Stuff I don't generally use a ton. Like a $5 finish hammer or a $4 rubber mallet, $3 flat bar etc.
Damn, you must buy a lot of lumber!
That's why they sell all that junk, they know we'll buy it like candy in a machine
, then before you know it, they own us
. One dollar at a time, "death by a thousand cuts" anyone know where that comes from, and no I'm not talking about a Taylor swift song

I've been saying this since the mid 90's, unless something changes soon, I won't be able to say it anymore...
