I just wanted to pass along a "thumbs down" on this seller, in case anyone might be considering a purchase from him.
I did not actually make a purchase, because he wanted $12 in shipping (metered priority mail) for a 1 3/4" X 1 3/4" X 16" piece of wood.
I wrote to ask if a flat-rate mailer was the reason for his high shipping, if he charges a handling fee and if so, how much? My estimate was about $6 metered (I buy this size of wood often) priority, so I was curious.
Anyway, he wrote back in a very hostile tone and told me that he does not make much of a profit on his items, and that's why his shipping charge is double what it should be. In other words, he is making up some profit on his shipping charges. He was not "twisting my arm" etc.
His feedback profile suggests that he has some anger issues and that his product is of questionable quality at times. Here's his toolhaus.org summary of negative and neutral feedback:

Anyway, hope that info helps anyone who might be thinking of buying from him!!
