WoodFinishing & Furniture Restorer's Supply

We're never going to press Rockler or Woodworkers' Supply, but we do offer some things they don't.

Old Minuteman customers, and new friends, too, can find the specialty products, tools, books and videos Tim Inman developed 'back in the day' and also his new creations.

Our online store is better than ever, and we're committed to making it the best we can for you. We are adding teaching and how-to information for you, and follow the old creed: "Don't tell me, show me!"

We've added some software, we've edited some ideas, we've changed some old habits - and of course, we've kept all of the good old things, too.

Tim has created the WoodFinishing & Furniture Restorer's Guide Google Discussion Group for you. You've got questions? He's got answers. WFRG is free, and open to all. You must register to post questions, but anyone anywhere can read the answers. The Kwick Kleen Talk to Tim Forum is also a place you can post questions and get answers from Tim - and a lot of other really dedicated furniture restoration pros and enthusiasts. Tim hosts both daily. Tim is a question and answer guy for Woodworker's Journal eZine. We'll link you to his answers there, too.

Our Woodfinishing Guide Blog, is a new feature for archiving the best of the discussion questions, and for sharing Tim's views on the art and craft of furniture restoration.

We even have plans to do a little podcasting for you later this summer. Tim and Joyce have many hours of audio classes and presentations in their libraries. We're working on digitizing them and making them available for You via mp3's on iTunes and RSS feeds.

All this is exciting and at the same time overwhelming. There is only so much time in a day, and we're a 'tw0-horse' cart in a big ol' horserace. Please be patient with our projects, and please feel free to contact us to offer your advice and input.
