working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
No, the shelves have been full. This did not start in the “last few years.”
Tucson Woodcraft is a locally owned franchise. We’re the little guy. When Home Depot and Amazon can sell products at, or below our costs, how can we compete? A handful of loyal customers, and gotta-have-it-now buyers kept us afloat, but it couldn’t last.

… add stupid minimum wage initiatives and regular increases for lease rates, and even a $1M/year business cannot survive. The costs are too high.
The fact is the true minimum wage is ZERO. That’s what you earn when the rate goes high enough to make it impossible to keep you on staff. Thank your local politicians. They are stupid, do not understand basic economics, and are pandering to those dumber than they are.

BTW, this is Rich. If you shopped there, you probably met me. I started at Tucson Woodcraft in Feb of 2000. It’s been the best retirement job I could have had. I met some great friends—some assholes too—but it’s been a great ride.
