There's been a number of my favorite suppliers go out of business over the years, and I've missed them all. Another is closing it's doors. Woodworker's Supply is closing shop. It's my understanding this was brought on by the owner's retirement. Over the years I've bought quite a bit of stuff from the. They had my favorite 4" flex hose for DC, and the RTS 2000 (I think thats what they're called) plug cutters are as good as any on the market. I even bought a table saw from them many years ago. I will miss them, though it's been some time since I made any purchases.

I remember drooling over their color print catalog back in the days before the internet was a thing.  Ordered from them a few times. 

 

I could buy most of what I needed at Cathey-Fullingem hardware in Amarillo.  It was by then a grown up general store that had been in business over a hundred years.  It took 60 years to get the creaks in the floor just right.  You could buy anything from butter churns to spring traps.  They are gone now too.

Spent a few months in Amarillo Texas way back in 1952. Was at Amarillo AFB for school to study General Jet in the middle of your cold winter.

Nothing between there and Canada but a barbed wire fence.  It does get very cold up on the Llano Estacado but it's the wind that gets you.  I got my machinist certification from Texas State Technical Institute.  The college was located on the old AFB and used some of the original buildings.
