The Shed had a stall at the Apex Vets Open Day in August.  This is an event in aid of Strathcarron Hospice and some other charities.We had our usual presentation and sold some items which will aid our funds by about £80 once some follow up items are paid.  In return we made a contribution to the Apex Charity Fund. Thanks to George McArthur for identifying this event and all the members who helped on the day.

With every event we are learning more about how we should tailor our presentation. Photo above shows our stall in full flow.

The Shed held their first open days covering a Friday and Saturday.  We enjoyed visits from members of the public, local businesses, suppliers, local Councillors and even our MSP and MP.  Examples of things made in the Shed were on display and lively demonstrations of the latest electric bikes accompanied the visit.  A tremendous spread of home baking was a hit.  It proving difficult to get people out of the Bothy once inside (same as the Shed Members).

The bike dept not only offers high quality bike repairs and servicing, but we are now hoping to run "Women Only" bike maintenance tutorial workshops where the basics of bike maintenance (brake and gear adjusting, as well as how to deal with a puncture when you are out cycling).

The Women-only workshops are to promote safety for the women in our community as well as their family and friends. Please  email us for more info and to arrange bookings.

A big thank you to the Shed Members for their contribution to our stall at Bonnybridge Gala Day. We had a good day displaying goods that the Members make, advising on services we can offer, speaking to people and handing out leaflets. We made more than £100 in sales, with more to come in from orders taken, so expenses are covered with something for the Shed pot. Photo above  was taken just after our stall was set-up and waiting for the Gala to start.  

Recent bespoke commission work requested by Rotary Club of Falkirk.

2 trains made out of old whiskey barrels and a lot of team work from all the guys in the woodwork depts.

The above is part of the Arts n Crafts dept where bespoke woodwork creations are carried out. Boats, Flamingos, Dolphins, Bird Tables to name a few. If you want to know more, request a particular item to be made, then please contact us by email and send us your suggestions.

This project is now complete with the Shed providing wood and tools as well as in-class help from Tom Benton,Tom Fernie and John McGregor. Thanks to Andy and David Jones for  the preparation work. Class P7 pictured with some of the items they made together with their Teacher, Mr Farington.

The pyrography dept is a little gem which has not been publicised lately.

Pyrography is the Art of Burning images onto a piece of wood, and this requires patience and dexterity.

You can see example of the creations so far above. The pyrography dept is open on Thursdays 10 to 1500.

A big thank you to Scott from The Saw Centre in Glasgow for sharpening our main table saw blade whilst we waited. It now cuts like a hot knife through butter.
