MENS SHED PROJECT- IT’S A WHOPPER
Auchterarder and District Mens Shed have just completed one of the biggest projects ever to be undertaken on our large lathe. We were asked to make a new finial for the roof of a house as the original finial had become badly rotted. (see bottom of first photo)
We were given a huge block of pine measuring 160x160x750mm which just managed to fit our lathe. With the original finial as a guide for the exact measurements, the men began the long task of shaping the piece of wood. A huge amount of wood had to be shaved off the block to arrive at the new finial. The final job is sanding down, painting with wood preservative and a coat of paint. To see what has been achieved, is a striking example of the skill and craftsmanship of our Shedders. Well done guys.
If you are interested in joining our Mens Shed, either as a social member or to re-ignite your interest in making things, we meet every Tuesday and Thursday 2-4pm at the Parish Church Community Centre. Contact [email protected]

MENS SHED TOP OF THE TABLE
Once again members of Auchterarder and District Mens Shed have come to the assistance of the Picturehouse Crew, the local Auchterarder group, attempting to restore the building to what it looked like in 1926. On this occasion, they had acquired 12 tables, but the table tops were needing replaced. The Men’s Shed stepped in and using their carpentry skills, they have made 12 new table tops which have the art deco Picturehouse Crew logo in the centre. The table tops have been taken to the Picture House for a final finish and varnishing. I am sure you will agree that the Men’s Shed have done a fantastic job making these. Look out for them next time you visit the Picturehouse.

If you would like to help the Men’s Shed in their workshop or simply come along for a good blether or join our ukulele group (we will lend you a ukulele) contact [email protected]

COMMUNITY HELP FROM MENS SHED
Once again, Auchterarder and District Mens Shed has come to the assistance of our community. This time Auchterarder Parish Church was looking for help to make up 16 hanging baskets which adorn the wall in front of the Church over the Summer. The Mens Shed members enthusiastically stepped forward, including ladies from the ukulele group, to fill the baskets with flowers. The baskets will be left to establish for around 3 weeks before being hung up in front of the church. We hope you all enjoy the baskets over the Summer when they should be in full bloom.
The Mens Shed meets every Tuesday and Thursday 2-4pm, including the ukulele group on Tuesdays. Why not come along for fun and friendship. Contact [email protected] You will be made very welcome.

MENS SHED ASSIST PICTUREHOUSE CREW
Auchterarder and District Mens Shed have again been helping our community. Over recent days our workshop guys have been working flat out to make specialty designed supports for display boards for the Art Exhibition currently being held at the old Auchterarder cinema. The supports had to be designed to account for the sloping floor of the auditorium so that that the boards were vertical. The photos show the guys making and painting the supports and the supports in place, enhancing the art exhibition. Please take time to visit the Art Exhibition which displays art work by pupils from the Community School of Auchterarder and a number of local artists. The Picturehouse Crew are an amazing group who deserve all the support we can give them.
The Mens Shed meet every Tuesday and Thursday 2-4pm at Auchterarder Parish Church Community Centre. Please come along to see what goes on. Contact [email protected]

BANKING HUBS EXPLAINED TO MENS SHED
On Tuesday 24th February we had an interesting talk by Lesley Wilson from Cash Access UK. This is the company responsible for providing the buildings which the Post Office and our banks now use in communities like ours, where individual bank offices have disappeared. There are now 211 banking hubs throughout the UK and N Ireland. Cash Accsss UK provide the building and equipment and it is up to individual banks if they wish to use the facility. So if your bank is not represented at a bank hub, it is that decision of that bank and not a fault of the banking hubs. Paying in or taking out cash can be done on any day of the week and is not restricted to the day your bank is in attendance at the hub. Improvements are being made to make printing of bank statements possible but this will take time to roll out throughout the network. Lesley answered a number of questions from the members.
