Background: While working as a furniture maker and designer, John Economaki developed an allergy to wood dust and was forced to find a different outlet for his woodworking skills. When his proposal to design high-quality tools for a woodworking catalog was turned down because the tools would be too expensive, he took out a space ad in a woodworking magazine in 1983 to advertise two of the tools. The sales and catalog requests the ad generated convinced him to start his own
catalog.
