Metal availability
Hello metal heads. Just between you and I all those woodworkers are just pussies - metals where its at
Before I get on the plane for the last time and take up roots in Aus I was wondering how hard it is to get short length of brass in round, square, hex... Up here we have a place called the metal supermarket where anyone can buy darn near anything in any length for a reasonable price. What I am specifically looking for is 50mm dia x 300mm length solid brass round stock. Would that be hard to find and should I load up before I come down.

Hi Mathew
Brass is not a problem , there are plenty of places that specialise in
non ferous metals.
Where in Australia are you moving to ?
You will have to get used to how flat it is out here our highest mountain is 6000 ft

metals availablity
Matthew,
50mm diam brass is no probs at all.
It is basic enginneering stock and can be found in most major centers.
Where are you going to settle.?
We could give you a better idea if you could tell us. maybe one of the mob here may live close by and welcome you with a few cool lagers. We are known to enjor a beer or two on warm days.
Welcome to Aus mate !

In the great brown land you will find metal reasonably plentifull. Because we dig an awfull lot of it up here.
sereously near me george wesson & sone is the non ferous place.Any thing with sharp teeth eats meat.
Most powertools have sharp teeth.
People are made of meat.
Abrasives can be just as dangerous as a blade.....and 10 times more painfull.
