Thread: Lumber Bunker

they dont have much too offer to turners ( by their site) might send em an email and see if there is anything else thats not on their site yet

Stirlo,
I will have a look for you next Saturday if I make it there.

I would not go off the stock on the website as to what they have in store. When I first looked at the site it had nothing on it, a few days later they had some information on it. So it looks like its still being built.

thanx brett. i was thinking the site might be in the process of being built, i'll check it regularly for updates.

Hmmmmmmm seems a little Timbeconish to me?

I recall some mumblings a while back about opening up in the eastern states.

The more the merrier

Nothing to do with Timbecon.

Lumber Bunker is run by a Family Partnership. Liza and Steven Thomas of NSW. No connection to Timbecon.
Cheers

It's just down the road from work - if they'd open on Mondays, this post would have been a report on them.

As it is, I'll probably get there some time this week.

BTW, did you guys know that Mitre10 in Umina is a Carbatec branch? Save the drive down the F3.

Cheers,
Andrew

A heap of the products Torquata, painted sherwood orange fitted/demostrated on sherwood machines?

They got a nice range of handplanes.

Lucky you, wish I could work on the coast also

Umina Mitre10 must have changed a bit in the years since I lived at Umina, used to be small with not much hardware. Wasnt really into woodwork then.

where is umina, do they have pen blanks there?

Umina is a beach on Broken Bay. In effect it is a southern suburb of Woy Woy and is just a 10-15 minute drive from Lumber Bunker.

I don't know if they supply pen blanks.

This thread does suggest to me that we should all be encouraging our local hardware store (if it is a franchise as Mitre 10, Home and others (but not Bummies) are) to investigate becoming an agent for our favourite suppliers - it may lead to the products being more widely available, so we don't have to rely on mail order and internet so much

Posted back in November:

"Did my fellow coasties know that Mitre10 at Umina is a Carbatec outlet?

The guy whose business card is stapled to the catalogues is
John Carrington
Mob: 0421 069 630
they're at 275 West St
Umina.

They had a CTJ680 thicknesser there, but most of the stuff I think they'd just order in for you."

Didn't see any pen blanks, and I don't think they carried all items in stock, but the guy I spoke with said they'd order anything in.

Cheers,
Andrew
