This guy walks by and suggests I could pull one of the smaller and more precise ones for use (which would have left a favorable impression if he'd stopped there) but then he adds "if you see an employee doing something a certain way then I'd suggest you do the same". In my case, the ruler I was using was sufficient to identify that the board was thinner than I needed so his assumption that I was struggling and in need of his assistance was ill founded and what seemed to be criticism of my judgement was certainly unhelpful (I may not be an expert woodworker but I'm also not an idiot). I didn't say anything at the time ( a couple years ago) but the experience has made me less likely to return as a customer. I'm sure these guys have an interest in proving extra value through their expertise but, in this case, the employee's desire to turn an unsolicited interaction into a "teaching moment" backfired a bit (as I considered going there this morning to make a purchase but chose to buy online instead due primarily to this unpleasant interaction). Given the lasting impression this has made I felt some feedback might still be fair to provide I should say, beside this guy, the other employees have provided fine service

If you're looking to browse/buy all kinds of woodworking supplies, tools, lumber, etc., in the real…read moreworld and not online, take a drive out to Downingtown. This Woodcraft retail location has a great selection of a range of products which you'd almost certainly have to order online otherwise. Much of the store, especially the lumber, is targeted at hobbyists, but there's plenty of eye-candy for pro-woodworkers who love what they do. This hobbyist inclination is not a surprise based on the online store. There's many turning project supplies for pens, bottle stoppers, etc. The large shop machines are definitely more pro-woodworker oriented. The lumber selection is pretty good, but in smaller quantities than you'd find at a specialty lumber yard. What they're missing in quantity is made up for in variety. There's probably two-dozen different hardwood species in different thicknesses, including thin boards and veneers. They also have a large selection of turning blanks for bowls and spindles from many different hardwoods. Pricing is generally the same as the online store, but I think they are locally owned, so may not always offer the on-sale prices. I think I had one item that fell into this category. Another minor issue I had was they didn't seem to have any shopping basket or carts, so I had to keep dropping stuff off into my pile near the cash register until I got everything I needed. It was an hour or so trip out from center city, so I wanted to make it worth my while and not just pick up 1 or 2 things. Besides tools and supplies, they have a large selection of router bits, books, and I think they also offer classes at this location. I haven't found any other stores in the area which offer as much variety of woodworking-specific items, so this place is a 4-star business to me.

When it apparently went to Puerto Rico (on its way to Colorado) and hadn't arrived after a week (2 day shipping), I inquired with the USPS and was told I couldn't track it as I wasn't the shipper. When I contacted GCW, I got unhelpful responses essentially saying, "it shipped, we're no longer responsible". I'm still waiting for the package to leave PR, and have no idea when I'll get it. The person at Great Craft Works doesn't give me a name, any suggestions for getting the product to me sooner (and having me return the original package whenever it arrives), and isn't even friendly or sympathetic to my issue. I was going to set up a wholesale account with them for my business, but now I won't given the poor communication and customer support. To follow up: I got an email this morning from "Stan" today saying: "If you read our shipping and ordering information page. We always take about a week to ship.

Artisan Home Brew is a business that has been here for quite some time, which says something in the era of home brew becoming popular, then fading from popularity. Lots of places sprung up during that time, then closed as demand dropped. That they have survived shows their dedication to the art of home brewing and their understanding of who their customer is and what they're looking for. This is not a fancy place, nor is it a place for people to stop and pick up a six pack. They don't sell beer, just all the ingredients and supplies, along with some supplies for wine making. They have some beginner supplies, kits and such, though this is a small part of their inventory. It's an old space with clean swept wooden floors and exposed beam ceilings, part of which have coasters from various craft breweries stapled. Shelves are unadorned, lined with various items, bins of different grains line one wall. The staff are quite knowledgable and friendly, with a club-like atmosphere where discussing the craft is as important, if not more important, then selling the product. Lion joined in on the banter, then made his purchase with a firm handshake and a thanks from both. I have a feeling this is going to become a place he visits often.
