    Default when you just can't find stuff

    Can you help me, I'm looking for a pegboard like product that has a triangular/hexagonal array of holes, as apposed to a square array of holes in ordinary pegboard from bunnings.
    The holes can be circles or hexs.

    Why do I always look for things I have little chance of finding

    Try these guys, Locker Group Australia

    they do all sorts of perforated metal, have a fairly extensive catalogue.

    the best part is, if they don't have the pattern you want, they should be able to make it. it might get expensive for what your looking for but it will be exactly what you want and Made in Australia. It certainly can't hurt to ask.

    if you need help with design, you can ping me if you like.

    Those guys do great work, but my project requires less. I can do it with square pegboard but I have more options with hex/triangle. Something in 3mm fish MDF or similar would be fine. See if I can find a picture.

    My printer can scan but nothing else, especially print. So I'm considering it dead and time for a laser printer I think, ink jets are too expensive.

    Looked around, dizzying.

    Black is essential, colour would be nice, if sparingly used

    Has anyone recently bought a laser printer?
    I'm thinking brother, but not sure

    Looking for shorts to buy, im 6'4 and finding shorts that reach to below my knee is almost impossible. 3/4 pants would do. Anyone know where you can buy long shorts that are good enough to wear to work? (I teach primary)

    Buy cargo's from Ozmosis.... Then take to them with a pair of scissors! Thats what I do to get the length I want. ( that sounded weird... Lol )

    If you or your partner are handy... Put a hem on them if you need them to look suitable for work.

    Hey all,

    Need to replace my ageing and well abused (poorly looked after) netbook -asus eeepc 1015
    And was wondering what to get. It doesnt have to be a gamers machine. I'll use it for sketchup and 3d printing and any windows based stuff that I cant do on my tablet.

    Toshiba C50D?
    Asus F553MA?

    The sales staff dont know what they are even looking at
    And I need to buy one before tuesday end of business : )

    Any suggestions
