I agree 100%!! -A box of 1000 popsicle-sticks from the craft store: less than $10 -The $0.60 mini-mixing cups from the Wooden Boat Stop vs. reused yogurt cups, or medicine cups from the local pharmacy (sometimes free!) -Wooden Boat Shop quoted me $80 for bead & cove bits that everyone's been buying from Grizzly Wholesale for $40.

I bought my box of 100 XL latex gloves from the local medical supplier at $8.00. I'll have to get the Harbor Freight ones next time if they're big enough!
