Lub for ways and prevent rust

[Wongster]

Thanks for the advice. Many hobbyists like myself encounter difficulties getting the stuff we want and need. For those working in industry related to their hobby, they are the more fortunate ones and some are willing to help. Those of my friends in woodworking as hobby have limited types of wood to play with and they often have to pay a higher price to get what they want.

We share info and resources amongst ourselves, pointing where and who sells what and at what prices. Many of us rely on Tao Bao, which we get tools and stuff at good price from China, and ship them in thru ezBuy at very small shipping fee. There are limitations of what can be shipped in ofcoz. Of things that can be shipped, you'll be spoilt for the variety one can choose from.

One good news is, there is an increase in numbers of DIY'ers in the country. Communities are growing and hopefully availability of resources follow.
