Morning Tea with the Knitwits

Morning tea was a very noisy event when the Knitwits visited but the men were on their very best behaviour. While we couldn't come up with any plates for our guests we were able to tear some paper towels from the roll in the washroom to use instead of serviettes.
Well we thought it was classy!

Knitwits in Our Shed

Three members of the Tuggerah Lakes Knitwits visited our Shed on Tuesday to accept 2 Sandwich Boards we had made to assist them in advertising their meeting room. Here Annette Evans, Community Development Worker from Wyong Council, presents Graham with a certificate of thanks on behalf of her group. Graham took over the design and construction of the sandwich boards and as expected produced work of the highest standard.

Finishing Touches to the ADSSI Printer Table

Nigel & Barrie have been working overtime to finish the "one off special order" printer table for ADSSI. This table has been made to fit into a specific part of the ADSSI office to hold a new and much larger office printer. Nigel designed to table to accommodate boxes of various size printer paper and trays in which the office staff can place any uncollected printing. Now all we have to do is to find a car/ute big enough in which to deliver the table.

Our Healthy Morning Tea Spread

While some men come to the Shed to work on projects there is no denying that our healthy morning tea table is also very attractive. Thanks to the owners of Legends Bakery at Wyong for their support. The men all agree you are really "legends". For those on special diets then this is a test of your willpower.

Now We Can Get Some Metalwork Going

Garry has done a great job in building our metalwork bench. Now that this very sturdy bench is complete our members have been making good use of this part of the Shed. Behind Garry is 1 of 2 welding curtains that divide the machine section and the small motors section off when men want to use either the MIG Welder or the stick welder. We can now have 3 separate working areas in our metal shop, so no more welding flash.

I Hear Nothing!

Frank, our most reserved and quiet member, always uses hearing protection when working on a machine. Perhaps some of our other members can take his example and use the safety gear provided when working on noisy machines.

A Hive of Activity

Everyone has a task and are concentrating on their jobs. The table in the centre is full of donated wooden toy parts and templates as well as a letter box Alex, our blind member, is finishing and another bird/bat box.
