We have also added a slim tissue box cover that fits Kleenex 85 count boxes. The one pictured below is constructed of cherry with walnut strips. We have several in inventory but will be glad to make you one to your specifications.

Just added some playing card boxes to our inventory at Lucy Hardware. We have single and double deck versions in two styles. The boxes below are constructed from Ash and are sized to fit Bicycle brand playing cards. We will be glad to construct your card box to fit whatever cards you want. Check us out for more options.

Jack's Sawmill
Picked up a load of lumber today at Jack's Sawmill. We got walnut, cherry, maple, ash, white oak, red oak, maple, yellow pine, and sassafras. All of it is kiln dried and rough cut so we have a lot of planing and cutting to do!
Jack has always been real good to us. If you are in the Raleigh, North Carolina area and need some rough cut lumber, you should give him a try. Send me an email and I will send you some directions.
When we first started buying from Jack, he was a one man operation with one sawmill and a small shelter. He now has 4 sawmills on the property, each under a shelter, and a large shelter for wood that has been milled. He has 4 full time employees and several part timers. Go Jack Go!
He has always helped me pick out wood that was just right for the task at hand and his prices are the best in the area. We drive about 1.5 hours, one way, to get to his mill and it is worth it every time.
While we were in Raleigh, we stopped off at the Klingspor store for some dust collection fittings and sanding belts. Our sanding belts needed to be replaced and we have been very happy with the belts they offer and the price. We also purchased some of their premium yellow sandpaper and I am anxious to try it out. We have been using the stearate coated paper and have been very pleased with it. Cuts great and lasts far longer than most other paper we have tried. The new Norton 3X sandpaper comes close.
Check out Lucy Hardware soon as we will be adding some new items this weekend, as soon as I get through beating up the young folks on the disc golf course!

Back to Business
We have been kind of slack in posting lately. We had a flurry of custom orders to complete, and have finally shipped the last of them. As always, we are grateful for the business and enjoy the projects.
During construction of the custom orders, we had major computer problems. Two of our machines had to be reset to factory settings. On one of the computers, while doing a disc cleanup, we checked the clean up system files option. The machine would not run afterwards. On the other machine, the hard drive had worked loose from it's connections. Of course, we didn't find that out until we had spent many hours checking and trying everything else. Finally, we had to do an update to the router and tweak a few settings. It is amazing how dependent on computers we have become.
New items coming to Lucy Hardware include playing card holders, new sizes of tissue box covers, and canoe or kayak stabilizers. The playing card holders are in both one and two deck models. Two deck models are either side by side or stacked. We are now making tissue box covers for the very large tissue box and for the slim tissue box.
Our canoe stabilizers are really nice. Constructed of cypress and juniper strips, they are light and bouyant. We made two pair so far and both have been purchased. We will make some more soon and post them.
