Currie Nursery “Bunny Hutch”
In response to a request from Currie Nursery, Alastair “2 Sheds”, with help from other members, has built an architectural masterpiece to house two rabbits. Domino and Woody now have a superb hutch that has been constructed from a big storage box and a host of other components including a dog crate and some bathroom panels. With signs carved by Stewart, the whole installation looks fantastic and we hope that the bunnies enjoy their accommodation.

Balerno Nursery – Planters and Signs
Jan agreed to take on a project for Balerno Nursery, to build some planters so that the children could learn about planting and growing flowers and vegetables. The job was quite sizeable, and Murray and others helped him to build these impressive, custom-designed items. Jan also engaged Stewart to carve some signs for the Nursery to highlight some of the items in the garden and playground area. We think the results are first class – and so do the leaders and teachers from the Nursery!

Murrayburn Mud Kitchen
When we received a request for help from Murrayburn Primary School to build them a mud kitchen, Alastair “2 Sheds” McKenzie sprung into action and ended up creating a brilliant L-shaped, 2-sink kitchen that would make the average kitchen installer jealous!

Premises! The story in pictures.
We obtained an old modular building to use as our new premises, and while it needed a lot of work, it was delivered to the site on 4 June 2021. With great excitement from all involved, it was swung into place by an expert truck / crane operator, and the real fun started as we refurbished it. This work remains ongoing however we are close to having a functional Shed workshop and meeting place.

Currie Playgroup Assistance
Stewart went along to Currie Playgroup where he sorted a few things out, including removing sharp edges from a gate, fitting a new latch to another gate leading to the main road, and fitting replacement casters with brakes onto a cabinet / bookshelf to make it safer. Nice one Stewart!

Laying Slabs the easy way
Easy? Aye just watch the others do it!






Colinton Church Nativity Scene (2021)
This nativity scene at Colinton Church was constructed and first installed in December 2020 by Geoff, John, and Alister. The components were stored away after the festive season and re-installed by John and Rab at the start of December 2021.


Sensory Wall & Finger Guards
Stewart has made a “Sensory Wall” for a local playgroup. ‘What’s a Sensory Wall?’ I hear you ask. An excellent question! It’s a board with all sorts of items attached. These make sounds, have different textures, move in different ways, and are all intended to give the children something to stimulate their minds. You’ll see what it is in the photos below.
While at the playgroup, Stewart also fitted “finger guards” to some doors, to prevent a recurrence of a child getting fingers caught when a door was closed.
