Hi James and welcome to the forum!
La Rose "was" a large supply house but closed their doors a while back. They sold much of their inventory to another company whose name escapes me right now. They were an excellent resource for many things.
Enjoy,
Bob

thank you for the quick reply., here's hoping it comes back to you, or someone else see this and lets me know about that other company.
There is a lot of really nice sounding items that they had.

This guy references a lot of items by La Rose.

Thanks again bob,

PS: loving your videos, cant wait for new ones. especially on more lathe techniques as I am acquiring one next week. only thing is it has no tail-stock.

Happy to hear you're enjoying the course James!
I believe the Clock and Watch materials were purchased separately by two different companies.
The Clock materials were purchased by R&M Imports and the Watch materials by Casker. There may have been others too but at this point these are the 2 I know of.
Enjoy!
