There are some who think that Auriou makes some of the best, if not the best, tools for woodworking. I got an e-mail from them today since they are looking for cash. I sent an e-mail to them asking if they will honor and complete orders made in the next 30 days. I'll let you know what they reply.

It would be a shame to see another high end craftsman business bite the dust.

government costs,taxes insurance and inactive labor force are driving small business out all over. at the present rate it is estimated that over 50% will be gone in 10 years
