Uk Diy stores.

It's even a pain trying to get imperial size drill bits etc. which causes probs when trying to fit US parts! I'd recommend small local hardware shops for router bits etc - they should be able to order whatever you want.
I've seen Plexiglass (or Perspex as I call it) in Great Mills / Focus but it seems to be pretty beaten up in my local - I'm going to use glass over the screen in my cab I think.
At least MDF is easy to come by - I dunno how to fit it in my Mini tho ??? ::) ;D

So far i've only played with my test piece of LiteGlaze, mananged to drill/cut several hole quite close together with no probs so far. But i have the feeling it will probably all go wrong when iI cut the last hole on my final peice. :o

Screwfix in the uk has a nice selection of router bits and drills bits http://www.screwfix.com/ Trend bits are the ones someone recommended to me, expensive but perform well.
I think i may try a few USA firms and like GSX i'm not too bothered about shipping costs as long as i get it.
I mean i've allready ordered from Oscar and Ultimarc with no problem at all.
Most of my other bits i've got from Happs europe over the phone. Pity they don't have a UK webby yet.
What do you cut the Plexi/Liteglaze with?, Jigsaw with fine teeth or do you need a special blade?.
RoadhawK:
Oh yeah Gajaman have you tried the website that Grasshopper mentioned? They do coin mechs here http://www.coin.demon.co.uk/-coin.htm unforunately you can't purchase online, you'd have to ring them or send a cheque.

Thanks for the tip RoadhawK, swallow didn't have any doors on their site but I've e-mailed them to find out.
There seem to be more and more UK cabinet builders out there, as the people finder is for the US only any other UK builders want to come out of the closet?
