Wow...odd assortment of stuff. 10mm ebonite? That's pretty thin. Strange tool assortment too.

I have no idea who is behind this. I'm quite curious though.

the suppliers who charge 100% mark up make mad bank, but those of us who charge 25% mark up barely squeek a living, sometimes it's the passion that drives a business and not the dollar. This guy's site doesn't show much passion, looks more like a drop ship package out of China

The sander is a Rikon, about $9 less than it costs on Amazon but Amazon has free shipping. The barrel trimmer listed in tools is a penturners item without the shaft. The 10 mm ebonite would be about the right size for a homemade pen barrel.

Come to find out, this is actually a guy I've been in touch with before, a customer of mine who had a college project that Google wasn't supposed to index. He was actually taking a biz class and had to do an e commerce site. He just never took it down

haha, I do plan on getting something together this winter, but I have a different name in mind.
I'm not too computer savy compared to most, but I'll get something together, probably some go-daddy site for now. Not sure if my mind can comprehend a Wordpress program or whatever it's called.

My website is a godaddy site. I'll do something else some day, but for now its cheap and I am smart enough to maintain it on my own.
Am I Calamity Jane or Annie Oakley??...depends on the day.
