Need Help Finding a Workshop (Sydney)

[Fenix]

Hey guys,

I'm looking at doing a project similar to what these guys have done here:
8 BIT WOOD | serving all your wooden pixel needs (http://www.8bitwood.com/8/)

Basically, I just need to cut some wood into a whole bunch of perfect squares and then paint & glue them down to another board. The problem is I don't have any sort of machinery to do this precision cutting. I looked at buying a bandsaw from bunnings but even a cheapie is about $280.

Here are two questions I have:

1) Is there some sort of workshop I can goto to mark out the lines I want cut in the wood and cut it myself with a bandsaw or something similar.

2) If no workshop exists can anyone give me tips to cutting perfect squares out of the wood at home.

I've already got some wood at home that I picked up the other week and off the top of my head I think it's about 5mm thick.

Cheers,

Your local mens shed might be a place to go for an accurate fence setup, be it band or table saws. mens shed (http://www.mensshed.org/page13287/Shed-Locator.aspx)

You could do it on the cheapy side with a jigsaw and clamped guides and hand finish to size using a sandpaper plate perhaps.

Yeah cheers man, one of my mates suggested it already so I called up the shed around stanmore and spoke to a receptionist... She said she's not sure if they'll let me come in or not so I'm waiting for a call back from the dude who runs the place.
