Default Buying small amounts of cut wood (UK)


"Dralisk" wrote in message

Hello!

I've decided to embark on a small project that needs just a few small
bits of any quality wood, but I have no idea where to get it from. It
also needs to be precut because I don't have the tools or space to cut
it myself accurately.

The project is a Magnetic Stirrer. Basicly using a computer case fan
with a strong magnet glued to it to make a steel pin spin in a jar
placed on top. I drew up the plans on AutoCad and I need wood to make a
100x100x50mm box, just big enough to house an 80mm fan, battery, switch
and variable resistor, and to fit a coffee cup/gravy jup/protein shaker
on top.

I need something like:

1 of 100x100x10
1 of 80x80x5
2 of 80x40x10
2 of 100x40x10
2 of 80x20x10 (inserts)

Depending on what joints I choose (if any).

So where could I get some cheap pre cut wood for an order of this size?


Thanks.

Dral.

Rather than trying to build a wooden base without the proper tools, why
don't you look around for a good plastic box. I am sure that you could find
one that would fit your need and be easily modified to suit your needs, plus
it will be simple to clean up spilled liquids as they won't soak in or
damage the finish.
