Jack the weedpuller

Although this photo, at first glance, looks like Jack has taken up an iron cross for the Pope's visit on International Youth Day, it is far from the reality of the matter.

Jack is holding a prototype weed puller put together at The Shed from recycled materials. Whilst appearing sturdy this prototype failed under field testing by herculean strength of Peter Jessop.

The weed puller was a project brought to The Shed by a local gardener, who's original commercial model had failed. This device was an integral part of her gardening regime that allowed her to pull up weeds without that inevitable bending over. The tool is no longer available from retail outlets in Australia.

The weed puller built by Jack was a far superior model all shiny, with stronger materials and high tech. With additional functionality that enhanced the original by ejecting the weeds, Jack had exceeded expectations.

Thats what its all about at The Shed a project that helps everyone in the community and exceeds expectations.
