🐝 A Massive Couple of Weeks at the Shed! 🛠️
If you’ve walked past the Biggar & District Men's Shed lately, you’ve probably heard the buzz of machinery and the chatter of busy members! We have had a phenomenally productive couple of weeks across every single department.

Here is just a glimpse of what the teams have completed and sent out the door (make sure to flick through the photos to see our members' hard work!):

🦔 Homes for Hedgehogs: We are absolutely delighted to have built a batch of custom Hedgehog Houses for a local hedgehog rescue centre. It’s a wonderful cause, and we’re happy to know these little guys will have a safe, sturdy place to rest up!

🌿 Willow Weaving Wonders: Our crafters have been working with natural willow to produce beautiful, handcrafted bird feeders and plant supports—just in time for the summer garden push!

🪑 Garden Bench Transformations: Two more beloved garden benches have been stripped back, completely refurbished with brand-new timber, and returned to their very delighted owners.

🪵 Community Heritage: We had the privilege of restoring a local Masonic Lodge chair that was surplus to requirements, giving a beautiful piece of local history a fresh lease on life.

🪟 Upholstery & Woodturning: The teams have been working fine details, too! We’ve completed the restoration and recovering of a classic wooden stool. Meanwhile, the woodturners have been busy at the lathe, finishing a stunning, large wooden bowl and a matching chalice/mug.

🏍️ Vintage Iron Back on the Road: The motorcycle group has crossed the finish line on a real beauty—the complete restoration of a vintage BSA Bantam! Bringing this classic British lightweight back to life has been a true labor of love.

A massive thank you to all our members who put their time, skills, and passion into these projects. The talent under our roof never ceases to amaze!

Which of these projects is your favourite? Let us know in the comments! 👇

☀️ A Fantastic Day Out at the Black Mount Fun Day! ☀️
A few weeks ago, the Biggar & District Men's Shed had the absolute pleasure of heading over to the Black Mount Community Fun Day. It was a glorious, hot Saturday afternoon, and the atmosphere was just as bright as the weather!

We set up shop inside the school, showcasing a huge range of unique items handcrafted by our talented Shed members and their spouses. It was a true team effort, and we were thrilled to see so many people stop by to say hello.

On the stall, we had a bit of everything, including:
🐍 3D Printed Snakes (a huge hit with the kids!)
🏺 Elegant Vases & Battery Boxes
🐦 Hand-built Bird Feeders
🧸 Beautifully Knitted Toys

Because of your incredible kindness, a very generous sum was raised in donations for the Shed. Every penny goes right back into keeping our workshop running and our community projects going, so we truly appreciate the support! 💰✨

A Huge Thank You To:

The Black Mount Development Trust for inviting us along to such a well-organised event.
The organisers at the school for making us feel so welcome.
And most importantly, everyone who stopped by to chat and donate.

Our members had a brilliant day out, and we’re already looking forward to the next one!

🪑 We Take Relaxing Seriously! 😎
At the Biggar Men’s Shed, we know there is nothing better than sitting out in the garden on a sunny afternoon. But if your favourite garden seat is looking a little more "shabby" than "chic," don’t give up on it just yet ❗️

We recently took on a full restoration project for a customer’s beloved garden bench. We didn't just give it a lick of paint—we took it right down to the "bare bones" to ensure it would last for years to come.

Our restoration process included:

✅ Stripping the frame back to its original state.

✅ Hand-making brand new wooden slats, custom-fitted to the frame.

✅ Full assembly and finishing to bring that "showroom shine" back to the garden.

Whether it’s a family heirloom or just your favourite spot for a morning cuppa, we love giving old furniture a second lease on life. 🪵✨

Interested in a restoration?
If you have a project you’d like us to look at, we’d be happy to provide a quotation! Just get in touch to see what we can do for you:

Let’s get those garden seats ready for the sunshine! ☀️

🐝 A Hive of Activity at Biggar Men’s Shed!

It has been an incredibly busy couple of weeks here at the Shed, with members "beavering away" on some fantastic projects across all our departments. Here’s a look at what the teams have been up to:

Crafting for a Cause: Our weavers have been hard at work creating beautiful, handcrafted Willow Baskets and Bird Feeders. These will be available for sale at our upcoming Shows—perfect for the garden or a unique, local gift! 🧺🐦

Workshop Refresh: A huge shoutout to the Workshop Gang! They’ve done a stellar job clearing out the old timber store and restocking it with a fresh supply of high-quality timber. The space is looking great and we are officially ready for the next round of builds. 🪵🪚

Back on the Road: The Motorcycle Group has been getting their hands greasy (and then keeping them busy with the polishing cloths!). Their dedication has paid off, as they’ve officially completed the recommissioning of a Triumph Trophy 900 Tourer. It’s a fantastic piece of engineering brought back to life and ready for the open road once again! 🏍️✨

It’s great to see the Shed so full of life and skill. Whether it’s woodwork, weaving, or engines, there is always something happening.

Keep an eye out for us at the upcoming Shows, and as always, the kettle is on! ☕

Biggar Men’s Shed now has its own Motorcycle Group 😎

Over the past 6 months we have recommissioned a selection of Motorcycles back to road going condition / sold them on, generating an income for the shed.

These have included a Moto Guzzl 1200 Sport, a Honda VFR800, a Yamaha Roadstar 1600 and a Triumph Trophy 900 (Still for sale)

The next couple of bike we have lined up in the workshop are a 1952 BSA D2S Bantam 125cc (rolling frame only) and a Triumph Bonneville America.

We are also on the lookout for more motorcycles to be worked on / or local motorcyclists that would like to join the Shed, to learn how to maintain / service your motorcycle the more the merrier. Send us a message on FB Messenger, or turn up at the Shed 👍
