Funding for new facilities for the Junior School is always a challenge when trying to balance the budget, so the Wells Mens Shed was pleased to build and install an outdoor stage area for the children to do their performing arts. It was one of our larger projects and once again we used recycled materials throughout. Our friends at Ronseal provided our trademark green paint...
Over winter we have worked with our hosts - the Wells & Walsingham Light Railway on doing some essential maintenance on the historic Signal Box. Nowadays its an office, a shop and a cafe so it needs to be in good shape to serve the staff and public. Following some careful craftwork our Shedders have replaced a corner post which was in need of replacement. The corner post is an essential part of the supporting infrastructure and trying to get it completed in the closed season has been challenge due to all the wet weather this winter. Pleased to report, as you can see if the before and after photos it's looking much stronger now.... The Shed has managed to stay open despite the challenges of the weather and to help increase the local garden bird population we have busy making bird and bug boxes for Little Gillies nursery school and Alderman Peel High School over 20 in total including a Sparrow Terrace - the first we have built. Not they are all colour coded with their green roofs - the garden paint was kindly donated by Ronseal Here's the collection awaiting delivery:
Been a little quiet lately so hear are some project photos over the recent past,
Mud Kitchen (1 0f 3) for Little Gillies nursery, Cricket Bat bench (for Beaconsfield Cricket Club), a working loom, a notice board and a historic school bench repair and refresh. Our Shedders have recently completed a refresh of the garden furniture in the Wells Quaker Yard. Considered past it. the items have now have a new lease of life. Here's some photos of before, during and after ... now who needs the Repair Shop?
Our Shedders were pleased to support the North Norfolk District Council Positivitea event at The Maltings in Wells-next-the-Sea recently. Our display attracted plenty of interest and the boys enjoyed their brew!
We are pleased to show you some of our recent commissions all made from reclaimed timber and pallet wood. We have also been producing bird boxes, duck nesting boxes and planters too:
