Mike's Workshop

Recommended Posts

If I am getting this correctly, Mike has sold his business!  It is sold to The Wooden Teddy Bear.  If this is true, I am happy for Mike, and I wish him the very best.  I will really miss his great service and thank him for the years he has provided the best service and a great product.  I hope the new owners can live up to Mike's reputation.

 

Wooden Teddy Bear is based in Portland, Ore.  I think they have been selling Flying Dutchman blades all along.  They should know the business well.

  Paul, I think you may be right, both sites are stile open, wooden teddy is selling flying blades.

Will I think WTB has been selling FD blades all along, think that is where Heppnerguy (Dick) has been buying his.  I just went to Mike's Workshop and no announcement there, I could still order blades, so I don't know.  Like I stated, sorry if I miss-stated, but I will be happy if I did.....  I do know Mike has been wanting to retire at 84.

only thing that maybe bad is wooden teddy has higher shipping charges

Gator i thought this same thing when i started reading this topic.......I went to Mikes workshop this morning and placed an order just as i i always do and it showed all the same charges....I"ll just wait and see what happens.

I was sorry to hear that too.  Mike used to be an advertiser here on SSV's early days.  He even popped in every once in awhile to offer scroll saw blade advice to new members.  He was a cornerstone of the scrolling hobby and will be sorely missed.  I wish him all the best.  I'm sure Wooden Teddy Bear will offer great service.  They have big shoes to fill.

I got a phone call from Mike last week. He didn't mention anything about selling or retiring. He did tell me to call him anytime with any questions I might have. I can't imagine him saying that if he was going out of business. I got just the opposite impression.

I had an order in to the Wooden teddy bear .I placed it on Friday the 6tj at about 1 pm and I got it today Mar 9  by posts office the order was for $30.00 and the shipping was $6.95 for $25 - $50 orders. That is a little high but most places are that high.
