    Default Northwood Tools / Toolco

    Anyone know if and when Northwood's will reopen after the flood damage. I tried to ring the mobile number on the website - it is disconnected.

    Colin says on his website that he is not able to trade "at this time".
    Gary Pye is having a sale next Thursday to Saturday and says in his newsletter "We have been asked by various suppliers to clear their surplus stock".
    Make your own guesses as to the identity of "various suppliers".

    Exclamation Northwood Tool Company business sold.

    All good things come to an end . . .

    It is with much sadness and regret I send this message to all current Northwood Newsletter subscribers.

    After the recent floods I was forced to move premises, and try to rebuild the wreck that resulted from the January disaster that hit much of Queensland.

    In the fullness of time, I realised the job was massive and to be honest I just do not have the zest or desire to start all over again.

    The woodworking business has been purchased by Chris Hudson who I believe is changing the web site to a totally different operation. He can be contacted at [email protected] or 0427 800 464 in the meantime.

    Please note I have no involvement in the woodworking business from 1st may 2011.

    As I promised you all that I would not sell the mailing list to anyone, I have not made this list available to Chris Hudson, so if you wish to receive whatever he starts doing, perhaps you can drop him an email saying you wish to be added to his list assuming he does a newsletter.reset your style.

    I thank you all for your support over the last 10 years, and hope you continue to enjoy woodworking as one of the most satisfying and productive hobbies around.

    If anyone needs to contact me I suggest [email protected] as the best method.

    To you all a hearty thankyou and goodbye.
