That's it.

It couldn't have been much smaller and got delivered............

Oh well I'm out of tool money until Dec. anyway.

USPS claims they were "forced" to hire part time workers and that is their excuse for poor service now.
The truth is that they chose to retire their skilled people and replace them with cheaper help. Now their system doesn't work anymore.

My 'latest' is different. May that scrap possibly be last months(or earlier?)

Do you want me to mail it to thee? :D

I will place it in a protective sleeve(padded manila envelope). :)

Got an email from Woodcraft this morning with a link to the new catalog. I haven't gone to look at it yet. Maybe tonight when my normal day is done.

The store isn't that far away and I have plans to go there this coming week for some parts I need so they will likely have copies to pick up if I want one.

Ruff day in the mail for that catalog, I'm wondering where the rest of it ended up. Without an address do they just trash it? Dead letter area? Perhaps it found its way into another mail box?

Yes, that might help. Maybe a magnifying glass would work. "Small print" was intended as an old guy's joke.
