Whats New

 
 
 Wow! Where does the time go too?  Sadly we had to cancel the craft fair in July, this due to the drain gurgling up water onto the floor, this would have been too dangerous for our clients, so appologies all around.  We have accepted an invite to display and demonstrate at the Scottish Mobility Roadshow  17th & 18th September (see main page) so I am looking forward to seeing all our regulars at the show.  We were invited to display at the Scottich Woodworking show but due to prior commitments (I am flying away) we had to decline but as you see we are supporting it in every way we can.

Friday 21st May 2010 we attended the Spinal Injuries Scotland awards lunch, the scoff was fantastic and a great bunch of folk attended.  We were honoured to have made the awards for the third year running and they were well received.

 

I am over the moon that we have been asked to make the awards for 2011 and I already have my thinking cap on, although it has to be said that my head is empty of ideas (nothing new there then).  The workshop has been busy and we have had a few new members, which is great.

HOIST

1. 250kg Hoist  2. Controls 3. Sling  I purchased the 250kg hoist from ebay and the control hangs down to the floor normaly.  I made a sling from a car tow rope.  Now if I or anyone else falls in the workshop I can use the hoist.  I also use it to lift and lower the lathe when taking it from wheelchair height to stool height.
