The Tip is 'Keep eyes open' After reading an article about items made in America I thought about how many times I make purchases without thinking. I'm usually focused on budget and needs. Prior to reading this article on made in the USA products, I rarely thought about the importance of buying made in USA products. This helps create jobs in our country. Now I keep my eyes open and I am surprised how easy it is to find American products. It only takes a few seconds to look. Now I make a point when I am shopping to search for made in America brands. By doing so, I'm able to identify more and more what products are made in America. Even with my eyes open to made in USA I can get discouraged. Sometimes store clerks don't know the country of origin which can be frustrating. If this happens use your eyes to find the origin information yourself. Look at the labels and when you find a Made in USA product tell the clerk so the next time they are asked they will know. Also, when the label is not easily seen I use the other made in America buying tips to help me find made in USA. 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. When enough people are asking for made in the USA products, more stores will begin to carry products that are made here. This technique does work. I also pick and choose the stores I visit. I do this because I have found that some stores are made in America friendly while others are not. Keep your eyes open for the made in USA label and pretty soon you will be able to identify which products are made in the USA. 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.
