I don't know where you are in Tennessee, but it might be close enough to drive over to Damascus?

("Cottage" is not exactly accurate in describing many of these products, given the level of workmanship and attention to detail)


thanks Glenn I will keep that in mind. I didn't realize they carried the SMD packs. Damascus is 5 hrs away but I do make it over that way quite a bit.

I agree it isn't but it seems to be the label that is put on them since they are a small run company.
