New work in progress storage shelf


It was found that The Shed needed an area where members could store their work for a short time to free-up bench space for other members to use. So Mick drew up a plan and the material was costed and approved at a Tool Box meeting. The material was paid for and delivered, then Mick erected this shelf and is now in use. From go to wow it took just 10 days. When something needs doing, Mick is the one to do it.
