SHOPPING TRIP for men’s toys...

Couple days ago, my father-in law (85 years old) and I went to Harbor Tool Freight (HTF) store in Nashville to check some woodworking tools as advertised  to be on a three days only “Huge Parking Lot Sale”!  Well, it was a ‘parking lot sale’ alright, but whatever there was on the parking lot display, I wasn’t much interested in other than a 4”x6” Belt & Disc Sander.   From a low regular price of $99.99 it was marked down to $59.99 + 9.25 sales tax, so with the 40% discount it was a good buy and a worthwhile trip indeed.

Since my father-in law was, in his younger days, quite an accomplished wood craftsman (Cabinet Maker) we spent some time strolling around the store looking over everything and anything they had displayed on the floor and shelf racks.  He was closely examining some of the tools, some I had no idea what they were for since my ‘cup of tea’ (so to speak) is metals as in machining and welding. Although, I wish I had some my father-in law’s woodworking skills which would come in handy around the house for chores as well as the occasional ‘honey-do-list’.:)

For some of you around that may not be familiar with the HTF discount tool store, here are some pics of the tools and pricing we saw in the store last Friday (8/24).
