    Default spare time in Adelaide

    Hey folks,
    Drove over to Adelaide for work this week and found out I will have a bit of spare time during the days, so was wondering if there were any timber yards/woodworking stores worth looking at? Being from Melbourne, I won't bother with carbatec as my guess is they are the same in every state, but if there is a pops shed or Carroll's equivalent around I'd love to drop passed and grab some items.

    I dont mind a drive out of the cbd if needed to find the gems...

    Cheers

    Gab

    Nothing here that is unique most serious woodworkers in Adelaide souce there items interstate, usually works out to be less expensive
    the retailers over here for some reason inflate all their prices

    If you want to look at machinery then I recommend Leda machinery down by the airport. Or there's Woodsmith but it's very small. That at rose water I think about 20 mins from CBS on old port road
    The fact remains, that 97% of all statistics are made up, yet 87% of the population think they are real.

    From what I understand the Malls Balls (sorry spheres) have just had a polish and could be worth a look .......
