Yahoo!!
This is the first of our purchases with the grant ($3500) from the Federal Government through AMSA the head body for Men's Sheds Australia.
A new Makita Compound Slide Saw with a 305dia blade.
It's basically the same size as the saw it replaces but Makita have addressed all the faults (which were many) of the previous model.
The members are extremely happy with this purchase & know that if it is looked after & treated with respect it will give us many years of service as did the previous one.

(Also combined in the grant is enough capital to purchase a floor Drum Sander & a Suds Pump for our Metal Lathe.
These items will be on the blog after delivery)

We acknowledge & are most grateful  to the Federal Government for its ongoing support to all Men's Sheds via funding, without which most of them would be struggling if not nonexistent.  

The members at Bateau Bay would like to thank Karen McNamara MP in particular; for her wholehearted support & enthusiastic approach  to the Men's Sheds movement on the Central Coast. Without people like Karen the movement would be nowhere what it is today.
