BIGGUNDOCTOR Report post Posted September 4, 2012 OZ is more than a days walk to get across, so you may want to get a little more specific on your location, so you can get better assistance. Hope to see some of your work soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anacott Steel Report post Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) I get most of my consumables here : http://stores.ebay.c.../stecksstore (in true OZ retail fashion it's cheaper to get stuff shipped from a supplier halfway round the world than local). These guys are Brisbane based : http://www.maclace.com.au/index.php Not exactly local but may be worth contacting. Haven't used them myself so can't vouch. http://www.dimensionsinleather.com/about.htm (leathercrafters association of QLD).

Anacott Steel Report post Posted September 5, 2012 http://www.stecksstore.com/servlet/StoreFront http://stores.ebay.com.au/stecksstore Bruce is a good bloke and will order in stuff like Osborne tools if you want. There is a Tandy in Minto (NSW) but shipping cost is ridiculous. Still cheaper to get it from Stecks. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
