Timber and ply for making boxes for wildlife
Hi guys,
a couple of us wood workers in Belgrave are asking for donations of timber or hardware to help us build boxes for wildlife after the bushfires.
I have attached a picture of one the boxes as a sample. If you would like to follow see Black Goat timberworks on Facebook .
Thanks
Sean

That's awesome you' re doing that!
Have you thought of approaching a Bunnings? I think you'd probably find them very helpful?
cheers, Ian

We have approached a few bunnings stores and other retailers and are waiting for responses . Tile importers have donated some ply so far. As well a number of private donations.
cheers

It would be worth asking the sheet goods suppliers for cover sheets as well, would be fine for making these boxes.
Happy to lend a hand to make some as well if you need some help.

Hi Sean,
I see ply would be ideal, but do you require any hardwood timbers like 6x1, 8x1, 8x2, etc?? I have some piles of downgrade around the mill that might be useful to you. I am in Rochester so it is a bit of a drive but you can have the timber if it suits.
Cheers,
James.
