Where does everyone get their kits from?

[RSidetrack]

I was wondering where everyone gets their kits from? Right now I order from PSI, Woodturningz and Woodcraft

Also what are everyone's favorite kits?

 

[Andrew_K99]

Exotic Blanks, CSUSA, William Wood-Write or Lee Valley depending on the kit I am looking for.

I asked this question last month. I am always curious if someone new has something different. Here the link to my question. http://www.penturners.org/forum/showthread.php?t=81825

 

[lorbay]

CSUSA, Lee Valley or Smitty's Pen Works.

He's close to me. If I order in the AM it's usually here the next day.

Great place for service and fast shipment.

Great service, fast delivery usually within two days if I order early in the morning.

Great pricing. Good kits. Fast deliveries for sure. Helps us out here on IAP!

All the above are outstanding in shipping and service. PSI I have a hard time getting anything quickly. Delivery service, at least for me has been very, very slow at times. Extremely slow on answering emails. If you have the time to call they are much faster in response. Woodcraft and Rockler..I order from them IF I am there as they both are semi-close or they have their kits at at good sale price. Never have had a problem with their service or deliveries at all.

And don't forget Arizona Silhouette, Wood-n-Whimisies, Bear Tooth Woods and Berea Hardwoods.

Exotic Blanks, Wood & Whimsies, Arizona Silhouette primarily. Sometimes I order directly from CSUSA, Berea or Penn State, however the three I listed firt pretty much have or can get what I am looking for.

If I have a coupon or they have sale pricing I'll buy from Rockler or Woodcraft. Otherwise the places others have mentioned. I do shop around for price.

Wow! Thanks everyone - I have bookmarked all the sites people have suggested.

@rkimery - I have the same problem with PSI unless I order a chemical product of some sort. Wax or Resin - then they seem to ship right away and I have it within 2 days. Otherwise I have waited over 2 weeks for something. Woodturningz has always been great for me, everything seems to ship same day I order which is awesome!

I am going to start pricing some things out now Thanks again everyone!

When ever possioble Exotic blanks.com, if I need to get a kit they dont carry I go to one of the other independant supliers listed in the other threads.

This question makes me have to count to 10 all the time over and over and over and over and over again.

Here's the list I've been trying to put together. I'm sure there's lots I'm missing because I just don't know about them yet since I'm pretty new to pen turning.
