The Tip is 'Before You Buy' Made in America Secrets tries to send you to internet stores that sell the Made In USA products you searched for. We try to link you directly to only Made In USA products, however sometimes this does not happen. When you click our banner / link ads the store we link you to may show you products that are imported alongside those that are Made In USA. We all know most retailers sell products that are made and come from all over the world including the USA. Therefore, our tip is look at the details before you buy the product. This is true for both brick and mortar stores and internet retailers. Any Made in America store that represents selling only Made in USA products can be believed but check them anyway. They will appreciate your help. Here is a great example of a very reputable Made in America Store. Our site is similar to a few others that I call "Indexers". These sites offer lists like an index. These indexes relate companies to the products they sell. There are a few, like this site, that provide an index of Made in America companies and their products. You can use the indexes (like I have done at times) to find a particular product and the companies that make it. Our site has many features like our buy tips that are unique and valuable. We add buying tips regularly so don't forget to check them out, as they will help you find and buy great Made In America products. Some of these sites are a good resource if you are looking for the manufacturer of a specific product. However you should first check their accuracy because some are not maintained as well as others. Some allow inaccurate and inappropriate ads, others like Made In America Secrets maintain the accuracy of their indexes and do not allow inappropriate advertisements. We continually try to improve our links and we solicit your help and ideas to make our site even better. You can contact us by email, mail, or phone and we will try our very best to respond promptly. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Texas On Board came about the day I asked my Daddy (yes, we still say Daddy here in East Texas!) to build a birdhouse for me. Being a wise man, he told me to come on over and I'll show you how. And sure enough, when I arrived he had a shiny circular saw for me, just waiting to be put to use. (I feel it is quite important to point out--as a female from the South, I had no clue which end of the thing was up, much less what to do with one!) I watched and listened closely that hot & humid afternoon as my Daddy patiently explained the how to process. Somehow he managed not to laugh out loud too much as he watched me clumsily butcher several pieces of wood. And then something magical happened....I got the hang of it! Daddy didn't realize it then, or maybe he did, come to think of it. He had done so much more than show me how to use a circular saw and build a birdhouse. He gave me the confidence to do it myself! Soon I began to design custom gifts for my family. Then for my friends. And their friends...and THEIR FRIENDS' FRIENDS....a definite mushrooming effect. I had become obsessed with my new found passion. And the rest, as they say, is history. Picture Recognition It was quite an honor for TEXAS OnBoard to be featured in Woodworker's Journal eZine. I was interviewed by Michael Dresdner, contributing editor of Woodworker's Journal eZine. Mr. Dresdner is also a nationally known finishing and woodworking expert, consultant, lecturer, columnist, and author of several videos and well over 200 articles. His books include The New Wood Finishing Book, Build Like a Pro: Painting and Finishing and Finishing Fixes, a guide written in question-and-answer format. |
