Father's Day Special

Father's Day is just a few days away and we have some great gifts! If you are like us you are still scratching your head trying to think of the best way to show Dad that you love and appreciate him! We've picked three of our favorite items with great value that are sure to fit the bill, no matter whether your Father is a woodworker, a tinkerer, a builder or homeowner and no matter what your budget!
Peltor WorkTunes make even the most boring jobs more entertaining with a built in AM/FM radio and 26 decibel noise reduction ($89.95).
The Tajima Caulk Gun is one of those go to tools that everyone should own, even if they already have a caulk gun. It comes equiped with an awl for opening your tub of caulk and will last a lifetime. ($16.50).
If your Dad isn't into building we have beautiful butcher block cutting boards that we have paired with Japanese Kitchen Knives ($100).

We are offering 20 Percent off of your entire purchase of instock items (gift certificate's included).

Unfortunately our Dad has one of each of these favorites so if you have any suggestions let us know . . . we're still shopping for him!
