Teak Deck Plug Supplier (again)

[demonboy]

Sorry chaps, I asked this question late last year and can't find the damn thread, despite searching! My own fault for not tagging it as a 'favourite'.

Anyways, I'm looking for a supplier in the UK of teak deck plugs and a few people came back with a particular company specialising in wood supplies. Can't remember them - can anyone out there remind me?

That's the one, thank you tranona.

Also ARC teak, Onward trading in UK, supply 6, 8, 10, 12, and 1/2" plugs in bags of 100.

Theres a fair few places in UK and abroad who do ARC teak products.

............and Axminster tools supply sets of plug cutters very cheaply and they are fine.

Buy One of These & make your own

Hmmm, there's just one problem with TRanona's suggested KJ Howells. They want to charge me £8 delivery on an item that cost £6! That ain't right! In fact that is taking the michael.

Does anyone else have any suggestions?

Cant blame them, blame the mail/couriers!! But have you tried any chandlers?? in Turkey? I make my own, unless I need hundreds, like for my decks! But thats another job!

 

[demonboy]

I just assumed that a chandlers would charge me more than a wood supplier. To be honest I'm being lazy, I'm using YBW as my first port of call for research /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

[ccscott49]

wouldnt charge you postage!! I also use YBW for research!!

I make my own - I have 3/8" and ½" Diameter plug cutters which I bought years ago and a drill to suit for each size. Satisfying to make, cheaper and I can make as many as I like in any wood! I believe Screwfix supply them and others of course.

I bought some 6mm ones from Toomer and Hayter about a month ago and they charged me £2 carriage.
