Currie Nursery “Bunny Hutch”

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

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.

This work remains ongoing however we are close to having a functional Shed workshop and meeting place.

Sensory Wall & Finger Guards

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.
