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.

HMAS Vampire

Steve Craig has spent 5 years creating this accurate working scale model of the HMAS Vampire. The detail is immaculate to the point where the checker plate deck corresponds to that of the vessel itself. Deck equipment can be assembled and operated as on the full scale version.
With the skills this man brings to the Shed anything is possible.

Can We Build It, Yes We Can.

Billy Hingston has completed his model dozer and has it presented it in a most realistic manner. The tracks are operable as is the blade. The detail involved in putting together this model is a credit to his skills.
