    Default Jig materials

    Just a heads up for anyone in Brisbane who doesn't know this already.
    Was at the Rocklea markets today and there's a guy there that sells all sorts of polycarbonate offcuts, acrylic, lexan, etc. and offcuts of polypropylene(uhmw).
    Reasonable prices and perfect for incorporating into jigs.
    There was also quite a few secondhand and new tools and stuff.

    He had UHMW? How did I miss that? I buy 6mm Poly from him for most of my templates.

    Our new born was asleep on sunday so I managed to make a new universal top for my router table (well its about 80% done) using stuff from him. I have asked him before for UHMW and he's never had any. I will definitely be going back next weekend now. Thanks for the tip.

    On second thoughts then maybe it is just some other type of Polyethylene.
    I kind of just assumed.

    Sorry to get your hopes up.
