Where to buy a Fret-saw handle local to Bathurst?
As the title says, I'm looking for somewhere (localish to me, say around Bathurst region) I can wander into and purchase a fret-saw handle - a 5"er - as of, like, yesterday.
I must've broken the blade on mine when I last stowed it away as the blade holder in the 'far end' has gone AWOL. Of course. right in the middle of a job where I can either finish right now or have to put it off for an indeterminate time.
A trip into the local Bunnies found the correct blades on their shelves but no handles, only 6 1/2" coping saws which are a tad industrial for what I need to do. Mitre 10 and other local Hardwares, similar story.
I also tried our more local - but way more livestock oriented
- HW store with worse results.
So, is anyone familiar with the Bathurst/Lithgow/Orange region and know where there's one in stock? Quality preferred, but will accept a plastic-handled generic if it'll cut accurately.

Unless you can borrow a fret saw from someone sort of local to you I don't like your chances. Mail order may be the next quickest unless you fancy a drive to Carbatec in Sydney town. For mail order can't go past McJings or Timbecon for fastest service.

Yeah, I think you're right.
Tomorrow we're heading off on vacation so I'm guessing it's another job relegated to the back of the queue.
Still, asking was worth a try, right?

You serious?
This ain't 1910 - such things simply do NOT exist. Get a new one. Sorry if this appears to be rude -but .
