I'm having a heck of a time trying to find a supplier for wood here, we have alot around but it seems what we want is quite uncommon.
Currently I've been working with some 2mm - 6mm timber milled down to that thickness by my grandfather. I've tried cutting some 4mm ply, able to get through it but lots of charring and flaming (no air assist).
How easy is it to find timber at around 6mm thick (or thinner if possible)? And what sort of places might do this for me?
Also we currently don't have air-assist hooked up, all that's needed is a compressor for it to work but our shop is below a couple of apartments and we're wary about annoying them with the noise, the exhaust fan is already bad enough for them. What are our options?
And lastly I'm on the hunt for a design of a slot together Model T Ford design, I've seen the one on wood marvels and have emailed them about it. It's for a run of about 50 corporate awards so we'd need the necessary rights to make that many. I'm tempted to sit down and design one myself but there must be more than that one out there.
