    Default Welcome

    G'day and welcome five point eight litre ninety five ford f150. How's it goin' in Arizona? I once bought some hardware from a store in Arizona and it only took 4 days to get to Tasmania (thats the southern most state of Australia). Great service. Not sure where it is in relation to Phoenix but I'll dig out the invoice and let you know.
    Cheers.

    Chase up some woodworking clubs over that way, they are sure to be able to help out. Unless you want to import some nice Huon pine from Tassie?

    Just google and see what you get.

    F150,

    Try the Rockler store at East 47th and Thunderbird. Should be on the NE corner. Rockler carrys some wood, usually S4S at reasonable prices. Most of the people that Rockler hires are woodworkers and they will know of other sources for wood. You could try
    http://www.woodfinder.com/
    Not the greatest, but a start. It is better to just click the retail box only.
    These guys have the most incredible stock of exotic woods and they do phone/mail order. (I've actually been browsing through their stock.)

    It's the stuff which keeps leaves off the ground.

    If it wasn't for wood, we'd be sweeping up every day.
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    thanks guys, have a few projects under my belt but like i figured they didn't all go as perfectly planed. but in the end iam still proud to show them off.
    over the last few years ive really started to get in to hunting and have got myself a few guns. so i was thinking i could build a gun cabinet for them so i had a nice way to keep my guns and and ammo that is cheaper than a safe. i don't really know what iam getting into, iam willing to work at it but iam wanting to know if iam in over my head on this one? i have a fair amout of tools and i will buy what ever i need.

    thanks for the advice
    sam,
