Exceptional Work of Art

Steve has spent months cleaning up this beautiful slab of Huon Pine and the results speak for themselves. Now he has a table that will bring pleasure to all those lucky enough to sit around it and marvel at the shape and colour of this ancient timber and at Steve's workmanship.
To see a piece of natural material many 1,000's of years old brought back to life in this form is inspiring.

Steve's Huon Pine Table

Steve has excelled yet again with another piece of pure craftsmanship. This slab of Huon Pine has been transformed from a rather ordinary lump of timber into a remarkable piece that would be the talking point in any room.

Dashing Beanie Alex

Alex is always in for some fun and felt that the colours of this beanie suited his inner feelings more the others on display. He felt that being the sensitive new age guy that he is the russet tones of this beanie best complemented the outfit he chose to wear to the Shed on this occasion.

Graham Enjoys the Reward for His Work

Graham was only too happy to pose with his new head dome cover. Though he was hoping for it to be in red & white or was it red & green or even blue & white.

Well never mind Graham it suits your complexion.

For his efforts he also got to take home a jar of home made jam to keep the Director of Home Affairs happy.

Bogie our Male Model

When Bogie left the Navy I wonder if he ever thought he would end up as a "Beanie Model"? Well he has, and they say the camera never lies.

The Tuggerah Knitwits knitted some beanies as thanks for the sandwich boards. The men, especially those who don't need to visit the hairdresser too often, were very thankful to try them on especially as the day was rather cool.

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.
