Acocks Green Men's Shed

Acocks Green Men's Shed Enjoy making and mending, sharing knowledge and skills with others? Then the Acocks Green Men’s Shed may be the place for you. Covid aware.

There are several well-equipped workspaces, people to help and advise and plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits. Now that the restrictions imposed as a result of Covid we're pleased to report that there has been an increase in the number of people enquiring about what goes on at the SHED! As a result of this increase we've added another session each week, which means that we will be open on Monday an

d Wednesday as usual and on Fridays as well. The session times will be the same, opening at 11am and closing at 2pm. Another piece of good news is about a bequest from a very kind gentleman who stated that he wanted the contents of his large workshop to go to a 'Men's Shed'. We have been slowly removing all manner of tools, machines and nuts, bolts and screws. If only we had a little more room, we could have the best equipped 'Shed' in the whole of the West Midlands.

These two came to the shed in a sorry state. Thanks to some great work by Michael and Pop, they are now back with their owner.

Among the unique and interesting things to come our way recently was a three-wheeled baby buggy. I guess it was one that was purpose-built for parents that wanted to jog while taking their child for some fresh air. As the buggy was no longer usable for its original purpose a couple of the guys decided to convert it into an Hybrid Go-Kart. The conversion is going well and we're looking forward to seeing it test-driven. However, there was one minor snag and that related to 'steering'. After some deep thought a universal joint was designed and manufactured from a scrap piece of stock aluminium, two bolts, a grub screw, a few tiny washers and two small sleeves. The tools used were: a metal lathe, a milling machine, a file, polishing wheel and an oxy-acetylene brazing set. All that remains to do is fit it into the steering system and, we hope, off it goes. The pics show the finished article. More pics to follow of the Hybrid Go-Kart part completed.

I forgot to add a pic of some of our hard-working members taking a short tea/coffee/biscuit break!

The other week, James our Son-in-Law managed to crock his back. He's been in agony ever since. Our daughter had been trying to find things that he could use to make life a bit easier and had located a device that would enable him to work at his laptop while standing. I figured that it would be quite easy to make something that might help a bit and set to and turned out the 'thing' that's shown in the pics attached.
