Home Depot is the best

I buy all my power tools, WOOD, and building supplies form there

their employees are very nice, and encourage and help you

unlike others that just say you are a kid, so you cant build it

these videos are built to show you it's too hard. loews vids are much more clear and build a less ambitious project so you can actually understand how they're doing it

this is far, far, far, far, far better than those stupid, waste-of-time "Expert Village" videos. Thank you very much.
