Anyone from NZ on SMC ? I am specifically looking for Kiwis in the Wellington, Lower Hutt, or Upper Hutt area.

Moving over there in a couple of months, and have some questions about suppliers, shops, clubs etc.

Thanks in advance,
Eben

Do plane shavings curl the other way in the southern hemisphere?


What kind of lumber can you get locally in SA? That must be like heaven.

hehe, only in the summer months Zach ;)

lots of interesting lumber - yellow wood, knysna blackwood, african rosewood, kiaat, african mahogany, jacaranda, tamboti, wild olive

but we also have a full range of imported timber, i enjoy working in wood with lots of figure, making boxes and picture frames from Zebrano, Cottonwood etc.

I get most of my lumber from a company called Rare Woods, check them out on the web
