    Default looking for offcuts to buy

    Hi... I've just moved to NSW and have nothing to swap... but I'm willing to pay. I'm looking for offcuts - small to medium (like, oh, hand-sized to planks) - of almost anything. Anybody want to clean out a pile of stuff they're not using but can't bear to throw away? I'll use it well!

    I'm in Marrickville, Sydney, and could pick up anywhere in Sydney.

    Thanks in advance

    If you want to buy rather than swap, try our Market Place sub-forum (see top menu), you could also try any local clubs in your area

    oops... I saw after I posted my message that the swap section doesn't allow for exchanges of money. I didn't realize there was a marketplace, too. I'll look now. Thank you!

    Default Back to work

    Have to head back to the farm on Tuesday, so it is unlikely this time I will make Katoomba. Next time for sure (unless it is February, Off to Cuba and the Galapagas Islands, even if I can't spell them.....)

    As you are in Marrickville, have you tried Anagote Timbers?

    http://anagote.com/

    They used to have small quantities that they sold for very reasonable rates.

    Good recommendation there. I remember going through Anagote's offcuts bin about thirty years ago. Great fun. Went home with all sorts of stuff. Check them out (nice people too).
    You know you're making progress when there's sawdust in your coffee.

    My brother has some silky oak he may be able to supply.

    Default Try the marketplace

    Hi, you may have more success with your advert in the forums market place/auctions. Adverts there are free.

    I am in Brisbane but understand there are plenty of member woodies in Sydney that swap and/or sell at less than full commercial prices. Look up Greg Ward for example (can't remember his forums name but imagine a search will find him).

    Regards

    David
