So Im at work and notice this "Big Blue Book" industrial supply catalogue from MSC Industrial Supply CO. Im bored so I start flippin through it....
TONS of tools, gadgets, bits, paint, and materials. ALL KINDS OF STUFF. I ordered a gallon of fiberglass resin and an 8'x8' package of fiberglass cloth, and including shipping and handling (overnight) the total was $43.74. I don't know bout you all but around here that's pretty cheap, not super cheap, but cheaper.
They also have tons of dremel accessories, grinders, air tools, just all kinds of industrial tools and supplies. Those of you who have your own shop or a useful garage, or who want one, may want to at least take a look while you're shopping around.
The customer service # is: 1-800-645-7270
They allow personal accounts and it doesnt cost $$ to open one. I don't think there is a charge for the catalogue (which also comes CD ROM) but the thing is like 6'' thick so there may be some charge, couldnt find it anywhere if there is and I forgot to ask.
Anywhoo, I just thought I'd pass on the info if it helps anyone supply their shop or get materials cheaper.

nope, no sales pitch, I work for a budweiser distributor -- that sells itself. I just thought that one may be able to find some deals on supplies and such. After some more browsing through the big blue book, I found that some of their tools are a bit overpriced.
lotsa dremmel tool accessories though...

do I get free beer?
well when the boss says load 25 cases on the truck and a few end up in my car, I wouldnt call it recieving free beer, I'd call it a shipping glitch.
If they ask I blame e-bay. ;)
