Our customer Tony Cattanach could not get his hands on a treated pine square post in the size he needed so he has purchased a treated pine round pole and spent less than 30 minutes to machine to size of 125 x 125 dressed – Impressive Tony!!  

Roger has sent in some photos of his dinghy rebuild, all the marine ply and solid timber supplied by North Geelong Timber Supplies.  He also replaced the rear end on the ‘oldest yacht in Australia’ and a couple of other smaller projects.  Thanks for the update Roger!

Here’s a gate made by Rumen Ginev.  He sent us the photos and these comments: First a HUGE THANKS for maintaining such impressive stock range at great prices! All materials except pebbles on the photos are from you: timber, pavers, steel angles, mortar and even fasteners – timber screws and bolts. The gate looks amazing!

Plywood used to be known as a durable construction material that wasn’t finished … Read More

Here’s another artistic creation from Russell Feldman: The rusty bunny planter box. Similar to the giant fish however perhaps not so ambitious, the bunny has been created from some scrap box steel that was lying around the place. With space for a couple of natives poking out the top it’s an interesting piece and far better than dropping the steel off … Read More
