I'm leaving this topic in for the next few weeks so we don't forget about it - Now is the time to start thinking about what we can and can't do for Christmas. Ali 2 Sheds' wee Santa snowmen were popular last year, and they are easy to make. Wheelbarrows, Christmas Stars and trees etc., are all doable. John has already started these.

I have managed to persuade Debbie (She who must be obeyed) to make about a dozen macrame shelves for us to sell at Christmas. I would like to use half-decent wood for the shelves, rather than MDF or chipboard. The shelves are generally around 40cms long and 15 cms wide and 1cm thick, approximately. If we have any wood like that, can you set it aside so I can prep it for her. She is also happy to make macrame flower pot holders too. We might even have some home designed cushions to sell as well.

I've received a reply from Val Reid that we can have half a stall at the November Farmers' Market in Balerno. We should have stuff to sell by then!!!! I have also asked Val to pass on our details so we can get a stall at the Currie Craft Fair in the Community Centre on 30th November.

Stuart is selling his reindeer herd (photo at top of Notes). He says he's getting too old to look after them, but they look like wooden ones to me, so they won't eat much, just the odd carrot!!!

We depart the Cruise Terminal at 1100hrs and return by about 1430hrs. Bring a packed lunch

We may have a new supplier of hard wood offcuts.They are a flooring company at hermiston Gait. John and Jim have been and raided their skip and filled the container with hopefully, useful wood for Christmas as well as flooring Jim's folly!!

A quick reminder that the Shed AGM is being held on Friday 26th September, directly after the normal activities. If you have any topics for the agenda, please let one of the trustees know.
|
As Guy Fawkes night approaches, we need to be mindful that having a lot of wood on show is catnip to those that want to nick it, so please don't bring any pallets etc. to the shed until at least after the 5th of November.
|
We use a lot of reclaimed wood, and most of it has, or has had, nails in it. This causes serious safety issues if a nail is hit by a blade, saw, drill or suchlike. So please be really careful and check the workpiece BEFORE you attack it with a power tool. We don't want any damage to the tools being used or the tools using them.😛
