Nurturing Neville


While there was a hullabaloo outside with all the earthmoving and form-work, Neville kept at it nuturing his task for the day. He was carefully smooting the curve beneath the this lorry toy "blank".

Cutting out "blanks"on the band saw creates a "rough" that still needs a some careful hand finishing to a standard that can be passed to places that use the "toy blanks" as an exercise in fine motor skills, in the painting of the toys during rehabilitation or occupational therapy.

Neville may seem to be just filing the "roughs" but he is also nurturing his own woodworking skills, nurturing the patients who will use these items to assist their own therapies and nurturing his own, and The Shed's, contribution to the local community.
