We had NYCC visit this week to film and the Council Officer said how “inspired” she was by what she saw. To us it seemed like the usual chaos of a Shed but, yes, amid the banter, caring and inclusion comes through. That is what we do, plus making stuff!…
Well, stretching the truth a bit given a wind but the sun was out. We had a good day finishing off some jobs and repositioning the air cleaner. We also started a workbench to be given (we intend) to a local school in the Staithes area. All pallet wood. We…

I am an old guy involved in Sheds and needing to buy a dust extractor for each of two locations. I have received conflicting advice from others but chiefly myself. Please can you help? Dear Graham, here is an extract from my new Ladybird Book on Shed equipment written for…
