Man who made the allen key famous dies.....
 
Ingvas Kamrad, founder of IKEA has passed at 91. He started selling matches to neighbors at 5 years old, and grew his business to a 50 BILLION dollar a year one! :willy:

Interesting story of how he built the store, and how he invented flat pack shipping. He saw someone take the legs off a table to fit in his car.....the light bulb lit up! :clever:

No. Some of it is supposedly illegally harvested wood from China, and I've seen something that looks like pine (with the most poorly drilled holes and shoddy quality). The mdf stuff is a step up imho.
