shops in Brisbane

Hi all

I get my stainless steel (and other non-rusting stuff)screws etc. at my local chandlery shop (boat bits). They also have a great selection of springs and thousands of other useful bits and pieces....and there is no minimum number of screws etc to buy.

In Brisbane there is also a place called reverse garbage which has lots of stuff but you have to go there to see what they have perspex/plywood/timber/springs/glass/plastic punchings/sail cloth and ANYTHING else. Local companies give them their clean waste. It is a great place and well worth going to and I'm pretty sure there is one in Melbourne also. I got a 10inch cardboard tube for a 8inch mirror in there. My children still love going in there.

Phill
