Bicycle Wheelchairs

Here is a pic from the daily routine in the shed that captures some important moments in time.

Centre photo are the recycled bicycle parts that form elegantly into wheelchairs. These wheelchairs were developed at Mary Mackillop Men's Shed for export to Cambodia. There are most appreciated there where lost limbs are common from residual landmines.

One aim of the Kincumber Men's Shed is to assemble these chairs and within a partnership arrangement transport them to a central collection for delivery overseas. It is one of the drivers for having the metal work shop up and operating.

This photo also captures Don House handling one of the Hospital Art Frames. Production of these frames stepped up from this point to meet the required number.

This photo also shows the recently installed stair to access the mezzanine and the safety handrails.

The photo also captures the interim phase where the large cutting table is being deconstructed to make way for a number of more serviceable benches.
