Massive thanks to all who were in attendance yesterday at the first ever Scotland-Japan International Men's Shed Summit.

It really was incredible to celebrate something so special on both sides of the planet.

We hope you enjoyed the snacks, the ambience and hearing the story of the amazing work going on at Pokke Kotan and the warm welcome they rolled out for our boys in Sapporo.

A huge thanks to our friends at Pokke Kotan yesterday for day 2 of our International men's shed summit!

It was an incredible exchange of ideas, culture and personal stories that will surely impact our sheds for years to come.

More updates to follow soon after today's BBQ where we're told there may be a very real risk of bears!

It's a good think we didn't bring our picnic baskets...

Sorry folks, we're never coming back.

I'm afraid this just clinched it.

Today marked the beginning of something wonderful for Dalkeith Men's Shed: The Japan-Scotland International Mens Shed Summit of 2026.

The jet-lag and discomfort seemed to leave us today as we touched down in Sapporo, Japan for our first meeting with Chihiro-san of Pokke Kotan. There was much to discuss as we finalised preparations for our 3-day cultural exchange which begins this Friday!

A big huge thanks to both the Daiwa Foundation and the Japan Society of Scotland for helping making this dream of ours a reality, and thank you to our members, our committee and our partners at One Dalkeith who have cheered us on at every turn.

We'll be back with updates every day until the 2nd of June but if that's just not enough we'd love to see you at our Live Video Event this Saturday at 11:30am at One Dalkeith (doors open for tea/coffee at 11:10am):

This is a free, drop-in event open to all so please, come along and join us as we take part in a live video conference with our three delegates in Japan to hear all about their exploits and sample some delicious Japanese snacks and refreshments.

Today was another calm but productive one at this week's Workshop Day For Unpaid Carers.

We had a short visit today from our friend Heather of Dalkeith Arts who guided us through the process of casting a reusable silicone mould.

Our first test batch of 2 Isle Of Lewis chess pieces have been cast and will be ready to pull out on Friday. Will they be a patch on the originals? Watch this space for an update soon.

We also ticked a small job off the list and connected new extraction hosing to the mitre saw. Boys, if you're reading this and you can spare a little bit of duct tape, please bring it in on Friday. I fear masking tape will only get us so far 🤣

If you need a bit of advice on DIY or would like to get that Breville toastie maker PAT certified, then our friends at One Dalkeith are hosting a drop-in café tomorrow that might just meet your needs!

Please drop in and see us from 10am till 1PM where we'll be there to give you advice on any DIY/repairs you'd like to attempt and will happily PAT test any portable electronics you bring along with you.

Unless it's a George Foreman grill. Just throw that thing out. No one uses them any more. We're an air fryer nation now! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Join Dalkeith Men's Shed at One Dalkeith on Saturday 2nd May between 10am and 1pm for our first PAT Testing and DIY Advice Cafe! ⚒️
