I thought I'd post this for info although it will only really be of use to Geelong-Melbourne area people in Victoria, Australia.

In getting some timber for the Tilly restoration projects I found my local timber mill had disposed of all their milling machinery. Apparently it conflicted with the large chain hardware conglomerate they are now affiliated with and presented OHS issues, blah blah blah.

Anyway they put me on to this place to get the milling done. This bloke bought all their machinery and has set himself up to mill timber.

As you know when doing some of these old vehicles which have timber coachwork it is difficult to get the correct sizes off the shelf and pieces of timber need milling to exact sizes.

It can be difficult to find someone interested enough to accomodate our needs and mostly they will only mill their own timber.

Nigel tells me he will mill any timber (obviously at his discretion according to condition) and would be most keen to oblige restorers who may have specific and fussy requirements.

With the many different pieces that go into the Tilly coachwork this is going to be very handy for me.
