tour of men's sheds november 2013

On 15 November I headed south from Auckland in my campervan to spend a month visiting as many Men's Sheds as I can in the middle and lower North Island before Xmas.
I will make a brief video of each Shed, and post it to my Men's Shed youtube channel for members and their families to share.
First stops were Hamilton and Te Awamutu.

I am off on a road trip in my camper-van. It can get windy so I made some new tent pegs....

lumbecks made on the milling machine

Geoff and Norm have been hard at work at the new milling machine making four different-sized lumbeck blocks for a local bookbinder. Lumbeck blocks are used to set the curve in the spine of a hard-bound book.
