MenzShed 6 May

The projects we had under way are generally reaching completion apart from the Fire Engine that is waiting upon important material donations.  Hopefully not too far away though.  Andrew has been chasing that up this week and alternative sources are being sounded out as a Plan B.

The main thrust this week will be getting lots of small items under construction.  Things that we can sell at the door on say a Saturday as a garage sale to raise some money to buy materials to make further items that can be either sold (for donations) or donated to kindergartens, the community etc.  There are a number of suggestions alreay in the bucket.  like winter bird feeders from pine cones, weta motels from offcuts of untreated timber, letter boxes, garden dibbers etc.  How about a few more ideas and designs.  We have some timber and bits and pieces in our store and I am sure we will have no problem finding offcuts from joiners and builders that can be made use of.

See as many of you as possible there puting in your penny worth to help make this place thrive.
