I'd like to see those occasional Thunderstorms go away on Thursday. Could make SOTA adventures challenging! Tim N9PUZ

Another source of interesting and unique tools is <https://www.stewmac.com/>. They are a Luthier supplier for the most part but they have some unique and useful tools on their site. Tim N9PUZ
