Today has been a glorious day
A sunny, warm day. It’s a little taste, we hope, of summer!
Locomotion 1 began assembly today, after some timber cut for it on Monday.
We went on to do a group photo in front of the Shed banner.
Inside Derick & Paul were 3D printing and Bob & Graham were stripping back the rotted edging of the Portacabin. Everything under the beating sun.
Locomotion in miniature
3D printed key-rings and other potential promotional items. Well, we don’t do promotion really – it’s not the way we gain Shedders who need a Shed. We do awareness! From above you’ll see the beginnings of the stage backdrop for the Billingham Bicentennial event, but 3D printing is another example to make people aware of what Shedders can do. Our new catch phrase is “We do more than woodwork. We try to repair men!”
So, here is Locomotion, the key fob (black on white) and, being printed as this piece is being written, a .(gold on black).
A Personal Reflection by Graham
An owl nesting box for a project in Whitby district. Some 3D printed elements too! Graham’s home work.
The plane Graham used was tailor made by BayThorpe Shedder Lance for himself. A work of art.
Make it yourself!
Monday comes round
Steve applied 5 coats of paint to the owl box
Wood offcuts that Dennis & Graham collected from a donor company in Peterlee. Their offcuts become our perfect sizes. Zero waste!
