hey there pal, i just bought some bits and a shaft for my dremil, from kanzai bonsai, UK. got them today it took less than a week. great operators. i think once you do the conversion it s not much different than buying here, if you can find what you're looking for.

Lindsay Bebb up in Brisbane has a ready supply of Samurai tools. Contact for Lindsay is through http://www.bonsainursery.com.au
He and Glenis have a huge range of carving accessories, including attachments to be able to carve with a Samurai piece using a mini arbotech.

Good luck

I have seen them on eBay from a dealer in Perth. Ray Nesci also has them. Plenty of places in Oz to get them, why not keep our buck here.

Cheers,
Leigh.

I got mine off that ebay dealer and it was a bargain about $100 cheaper.
I have not seen him advertise them lately though. It was about a year ago I got mine and can't remember the dealer.
Ray advertises them in the canberra club newsletter.

thanks everyone, I would rather keep the buck here too, thats why I asked for an aussie dealer. now that I have a couple of leads, I will make some calls & see whether they have the tool i'm after. I need a shogun master with the 103 mm shaft length so I can get right in & create some 3 dimensional work. kevin wilsons work inspires me, & i've got the trunks to try my luck. been practising & collecting for a few years, now is the time to attempt the bigtime. cheers, dave.
