Years ago, I worked for a big tech company where we had an incredibly useful page on the internal wiki; a list of recommendations for various providers of goods and services in the local area. Then, I quit that job and moved to New Zealand.

Here’s a scattered collection of my recommendations, perhaps helpful for folks in Dunedin and NZ:

Bearings and similar: NZ Miniature Bearings

Dentist: John Hamilton Dental

Industrial surplus; motors, VFDs, chains, gears, material (including new rolled steel), interesting machines… : Rietveld

Plants, NZ native: Ribbonwood Nurseries

Sharpening, push mower reels in particular: G & J Swann, Bridgman St.

Cordless power tools: i-tools
