Are there any tools you would get rid of if you stopped working at the professional level?

Shannon, there is a Woodcraft in New Castle, DE. I live in Elkton and go to school at UMBC so I am around the Baltimore area a lot. It’s not too bad of a drive, but there are a few tolls. Round trip it will probably take more than 2 hours though.
There’s also a Harrisburg Woodcraft for folks North of Baltimore. It’s the closest one for me (1.5 hours).
Marc, the new website looks great. Shannon as a backend developer I’ll appreciate your architecture changes on the backend.
