We've been coming in for years, and the owner is consistently so welcoming and kind. My son, Nicholas, is stoked and lights up every time we stop by so he can talk skateboarding with him. He really takes the time to connect which is so cool. Even outside the shop spotting the owner out and about, he always makes a point to say hello. Anyways, Lost Surf Shack is such a "shop local" gem in Fort Bragg. We just walked out of there this afternoon with a set of knee pads and a happy kiddo, and I realized this review is long overdue!

The item was shipped next morning, and arrived priority mail within just a few days, nicely packaged and seems to be a really high quality blade. We were recommended this company by a master craftsman furniture maker in Chicago who specializes in hand tools and 18th century woodworking, and highly recommend using Hock Tools for your woodworking blade needs.

Hock Tools makes high end aftermarket blades for woodworking tools. Ron Hock has been doing this…read morefor a long time and is one of the top names in the business. As I understand it, he started working with James Krenov when Krenov was at the College of the Redwoods - Ron making blades for him and his students. I've only purchased a few of his blades but I will certainly continue to buy more, as I can afford them and as I need them. They are so much better than others I own. They hold a great edge and are wonderfully thick, preventing chatter. I've made Krenov-type planes around his wooden body plane blades and love them. I can't wait to get one of his spokeshave blades as well. And all the rest, to be honest. I've got a crappy block plane that I want a Hock blade for but the blade would cost more than the plane by far. It's not that the blades are that expensive, it's that I bought that horrible a block plane. I'll wait and make another woodie instead. I've recently purchased some good steel and made a couple blades myself. While they turned out better than the stock blades I own they really aren't nearly as good as the Hock Tool blades. I also didn't save any money by the time I add up all the tools and heat treating stuff I needed. It was fun, but not a great saving. Ron Hock has also written a great book on sharpening tools of all sorts. In my few calls there I've spoken to both a lady working there and Ron Hock himself and both were helpful and friendly.

Hare Creek Nursery and Saw Shop ROKK! (I'm an 80's Dude. Trust me, it's the TOP compliment!)…read more The story "grows," so please read on. OH... I will be placing the same review on the Yelp for Hare Creek NURSERY, as it looks like they have their own Yelp. You only need to read one or the other. (Or you can read both if it helps their business!) SO... I brought an old, neglected Poulan 4000 chainsaw to Hare Creek Nursery and Saw Shop in Ft. Bragg today. (We are moving to our place in the area permanently this summer after YEARS of visits and my wife growing up here and so on...) I brought it in for a service and sharpening at around 11:00am, after the saw sat unused for almost 20 years. (My little electric saw has sufficed over the years "down there.") The Woman at the counter was super helpful, and explained how the diagnostic fee worked and would be applied if the saw could be serviced, but she also gently let me know that the age of the saw and the lack of attention over 20 years could be an issue. After she told Suburban-Me why I couldn't fit a larger bar to it. Because I asked. (At least I knew what the bar was...) Said they would call me early next week with the news, as they weren't super busy. (Stoked! Because I actually called them last August, and was told I could drop said saw off but it might be 4-5 weeks before it was done. Which I now understand. And still should have just dropped off.) So maybe an hour and 15 minutes later, as my daughter and I were finishing lunch at Laurel's Deli, (another GREAT place with ROKKEN service), I got a call from Hare Creek Nursery and Saw Shop. (Because cell service!) Saw was done. Had some issues, but they got it sharpened up and running and should be good for a few more years of real work. I was kinda shocked. They HAD me for the sale of a new Husqvarna. But they salvaged my old saw. (Which was my Father's, and before that my Great Uncle's.) When I picked it up, the Senior Manager came out and told me that when I dropped it off, he overheard me say that I had some trees down on my property that were a problem. So he said he "put the shop on it since it was slow anyway." That is legit SERVICE, the way it should be. That is old-school CLASS, the way it USED to be. THAT is how you create a customer for LIFE. One who will his new Husqvarna from Hare Creek.
