St Martins Menzshed is looking for help from retired tradespeople

Gary Payne from St Martins Community Menzshed

We are busy refurbishing two buildings for use as workshops for the newly-established St Martins Community Menzshed.

As part of this work, we need to rewire a couple of rooms, lay some carpets and add a small amount of plumbing. Being a community group focused on providing resources and a social environment for older men, we do not have the funds to pay for all this work, and so we will be doing much of it ourselves.

That said, help from "professionals" in the trades would be really appreciated! So if you are a retired electrician, carpet layer or plumber, and would like to help us get established, please reply to this post so that we can get in touch with you.

Thanks, Gary (the group Secretary)

The weather is looking good so I will be at Lyttelton Saturday 30 Nov 8am-1pm at Collett's Corner Craft and Treasures Market.
I will be there to sharpen tools scissors, knives.,secateurs ,loppers etc.My stock of old solid English and German hedge shears for sale has been reduced but there are still some beautiful old tools available .I have a large range of cutting Boards and a new range of serving "grazing" platter boards.(the glue I use is from Europe and has been tested and approved for use with food by the US FOOD AND DRUG AUTHORITY)These are made by me from Native Red Beech timber that I purchased from a demolition company in early 1990's.
Apparently it came from a Lyttelton dance hall.We have not had confirmation of the hall yet but it seems it may be the Harbour Board Hall down on the waterfront or a hall that was in Dublin Street between London and Norwich on the East side of Dublin
Please contact me to have tools to be sharpened or you are interested in my wood boards.
I also have a listing under "sharpening" on TRADE ME and more photos and costs of most sharpening are listed
