The Tip is 'Don't procrastinate' For years I've been buying ink jet cartridges from a big box office supply store. These cartridges were made overseas and labeled with the well-known brand of a large American printer company. One I remembered a local store that advertised quality cartridges. I had traveled by this local store hundreds of times but never stopped. This time I stopped at the local store. To my surprise I discovered that they carried the cartridge I needed and it was a Made in USA cartridge. Made in Chicago, to be precise, and it was half the price of the imported ones I had been buying for years. The quality is exceptional and they last longer too. Who knew? After that experience, I make a point to stop at every store I can. By doing so, I've been finding more and more Made in America products. Occasionally the clerks don't know the country of origin; this can be discouraging but finding the origin information yourself isn't difficult I've come to realize. Believe it not, there are actually a number of computers made in the US including laptops made in the USA. When the label is not visibly displayed I use the other Made in America buying tips to help me find Made in US. If the store doesn't carry what you are looking for, use Made in America Secrets to find it and tell the manager about your experience at their store. If enough people are asking for Made in America products stores will begin to carry them. 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.
