Wow! What a transformation! 😄
The learners in our joinery department have successfully upcycled a pre loved cast iron bench frame, added some sample wood slats and turned it into a fabulous piece of garden furniture!
Please, get in touch if you have any garden furniture, that you would like us to refurbish, and if you have any cast iron bench ends to donate.
Which we can use for our learners to gain more skills 🔨

We were recently commissioned to build a memorial sunshine 🌅 bench, made in hardwood for Dawber Gardens.

Liking the bench so much and seeing his next project, our learner Jake took on the challenge to recreate another bench himself, using the template of the original for the back bench.

Jake has been a learner in the joinery team at Pelican Trust for 18 months and has created some fantastic pieces included wooden vases, wheelbarrow planters, chopping boards and kangaroo ornaments. It’s great to see his confidence and skills growing.

We were going to list this beautiful bench for sale, however it’s sold before we could even list it! 👏🏻
Well done Jake, a testament to your skills! Carry on being brilliant!
