Work is under way to make new stock for the first fair
in February, I have been working on having a new section at the fair to show
my more adventurous pieces. The Spinal
Injuries Scotland Awards can still be seen here. (SEE
PICTURES) I intend to try and
coast along for a wee while and try to re-charge my body batteries as well
as my wheelchair ones.

This
woodturning and woodworking organisation and
workshop is open to ALL but is targeted to provide a knowledge base
for the disabled, wheelchair users and those less than able as well
as the able bodied. I know and understand what it feels like
to be isolated and working alone, I want this to be a place where
practical problems are solved and where your determination can be
set free. As a person of limited mobility, it is only through my
workshop that I now find myself free of my limitations, some days I only manage 30 minutes in the workshop and on a really good day I can be there for 3 hours. On a personal level my condition is degenerative, my head tells me I can "do stuff" but my body lets me know that its not true, if it wasn't for the workshop I am convinced that I would not now be here, it gives me purpose and its that purpose that I want to pass to others.
If you need
advice or assistance in setting up a workshop PLEASE make contact. Around
Scotland and Glasgow I am offering an
introduction to woodturning training as well as the advice. I can also be booked for demonstrations and
workshops , all I
need is a power point.

THIS IS A NOT FOR PROFIT
ORGANISATION
BUT WE WANT
TO BE SELF FUNDING
A new
avenue for us in 2010 is the online shop,
profit from
ALL sales, internet or craft fair, goes into the workshop and to charity.
In 2009 we
donated a total of £650 to charity, January 2011 we donated £638 to
Marie Curie and £200 to BLESMA Crief.
