The Tip is 'Ask Before You Buy' I went to a department store for a pair of dress shoes recently. The clerk helped me with three different pairs that I tried on. 'The Big Secret' was on the forefront of my mind so I asked, "Are these shoes imports?" The salesman responded that they were in fact imported. "Do you have any Made In America shoes like these?" I asked. To my surprise he said, "We have a whole line of Made In USA shoes." I was able to purchase the same color and style with the Made In USA label. These Made in America shoes were less expensive, came with a better warranty and were more comfortable. It's amazing how often this simple Made in US question yields unexpected and often times pleasant results. I now ask this question regularly, whereas before I would not have thought to ask for a Made in America alternative. More often than not, I can find a Made in America product of higher quality and at the same, or slightly higher price. Asking the question is so simple and can make a positive impact, in both the short and long term. Try it sometime. If you are like me, you may be surprised with how many Made in US products are out there. You will love it when you realize you are making a difference that benefits many. With your help America will be ours again and that is a good thing. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Hide A Horse I wholeheartedly believe HideAHorse is the best folding sawhorse available, and I'm confident you'll agree once you use one. The concept grew from my frustration at being unable to find a lightweight, compact, folding saw horse that I could take to and from job sites. As a carpenter, I also wanted it to be as stable as a non folding sawhorse, very strong and durable, and, if possible, look professional. At first, I assumed I would be able to find what I needed at the building supply or hardware stores. What I found was a heavy collapsible metal sawhorse, a clumsy sheet metal model, unsatisfactory sawhorse brackets, and many flimsy, plastic sawhorses. On one shopping trip a passing customer remarked, If you're looking for good heavy duty sawhorses, don't buy any of those. I scoured the Internet in search of suitable sawhorses and still found nothing acceptable. It became clear that in order to get what I wanted I would have to learn how to build sawhorses. The full development process took about two-and-a-half years. Early on I realized that my sawhorse plans required a device to hold the legs on the beam while allowing them to change angles as they travel from a folded to set up position. Of course, other operational factors came into play, but that was the nexus. Thus, HideAHorse Sawhorses was born. The wooden design has an old-school quality, look, and feel, while still incorporating modern and innovative functionality. With a weight capacity of 1100 pounds, HideAHorse is perfect for the professional carpenter, drywall hanger, welder, painter, woodcrafter or handyman. Since it weighs in at only 7 1/2 pounds, it's the best choice for temporary craft tables, portable tables for trade shows or do-it-yourselfers, and anyplace portable workbenchs are needed. It even makes a great saddle rack. I'm thrilled every time I use my HideAHorse sawhorses, and I'm sure you'll be just as pleased with it.
