Reclaimed timber

Alex from Westmere

Kia ora,

My friend and I are looking for reclaimed timber for a workshop. We will be showing people how to design using reclaimed timber and producing chairs.

We are looking for 30-60m of reclaimed timber. We had in mind h1 framing timber or any untreated timber.

If anyone has any leads on where we may be able to get some timber, we would love to know! We have a small budget for the wood so are willing to fork out for it as well if needed!

Many thanks.

Ngā mihi,

Alex

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
