Final day for this group of Rochester Primary students at the Shed today. The bird nesting boxes were sanded before being taken back to school to be painted.
It was such a pleasure to work with the students over the 3 weeks.

Lots of work being done last Friday (ladies day) and Monday (community day) at the Shed.
Bev finished the bird-house and Jenny's Fairy House is amazing. Heather2 was working on the picture frames.
John, Marshall, Ray and Alex all have ongoing projects.
Ray tried vacuuming the sawdust from his clothing.
Lots of fellowship happening over the mornings.

Students from the Primary School attended the Shed this morning to work on the bird houses they are making.
This morning they were drilling, rasping, sanding and filling in the countersunk screw holes, ready to sand and finish next week.
Such an enthusiastic group of students to work with.

Some nice work going on at the shed. Well done to all our volunteers. We have had great feedback from some of our customers on our workmanship, from trays for hot food handling to large teapot pourers. 👍 Come to the shed, everyone is welcome. A big thank you to our volunteers for providing a beautiful selection of cakes and biscuits for morning tea 🤤
