    Default Have I got a deal for you!

    Thursday the 27th I'm off on another business trip to the states - Milwaukee Wisconsin

    They have a Rockler and Woodcraft store there.

    If there is any pen Blanks you find on either of their websites that you would like, but cant get here let me know.

    I am willing to put up around 200 bucks of my own money to purchase them and bring them back.

    WHAT WILL THEY COST ME
    They will cost you what they cost me (dont forget when you do you calculations sales tax is charged on top of the listed price - 5.6%) converted to Aus dollars ( whatever my credit card gets charged) plus the postage.

    I have bought wood back from there often without a problem.

    So if you are interested either reply to this post or PM me. Once the total get to about 200 bucks I will say so in th this thread

    (Sorry - Stirlo's right (next post), sure he didn't mean it this way, but I should choose some interesting timbers I can't get here, rather than something plastic that I can). I'll have to get back to you.)


    I'm resisting (with difficulty) going insane with the choices.

    Perhaps some of this too - looks interesting



    (Ok, I don't need the EEE! Just funny seeing it on a US site!)

    FC - Slightly above the limit ! but I will take a picture of it if you like.

    Just to clarify - Pen blanks only otherwise it could get messy with baggage allowances etc - after all I may want a few things for myself

    That looks amazing too - pity it is currently oversold!

    Damn - you are right - I should look at the timbers I can't get here, rather than a variant on a plastic one that I can from Carrolls or sim.
    Will have to get back to you.

    Will have to get back to you.
    You guy should get together a list of things you like but can't get there.
    We (those in the US) should put together a list of things we can't get here.

    Somehow, I think we could make things happen..

    Thats a great offer Andrew you should get a lot of takers at that price.

    Nl I bet you have a PM from Stirlo. You have a great idea about shifting things between the two countries it should work well for both parties
