Hey Scott

I was there...

Hoa Dinh in Alameda

>a few weeks ago on a Sunday, but only for a few minutes.

That place, in fact, the whole neighborhood, was deserted. This in itself is not a bad thing, but makes me think about how they're gonna stay in business.

Mechandise selection is very limited. I would say it's about 1/4 of the Woodcraft store in Dublin or the Rockler store in Pleasant Hill. There were a few power tools on display, but of course they can order anything you want. There was also some lumber, mostly S3S, the same species and prices you see at Woodcraft or Rockler.

There was only one store clerk there. He was very helpful and eager to do business.

The classrom, however, is large and well-equiped. They seem to have an extensive schedule.

It's a place I'd visit if I happen to be in the neighborhood, but not one that I would drive 25 miles one way just to see.

>Scott,

I've checked out their web site and the classes look pretty pricey compared to Woodcraft.

Oh, and for Derek,

If you'd ever been in downtown Los Gatos you might be reconsider the name.
