When you join our Club you don't need to have any woodworking skills. As you are inducted on various machinery items and work on projects your woodworking skills will develop.

Tools & Equipment

Tools & Equipment
The Club has a wide range of woodworking equipment appropriate for most projects.
Our members perform most of the equipment maintenance.
We have a regular schedule for preventive maintenance on all of our large floor-mounted machinery.
In addition we have a wide range of hand-held powered and unpowered woodworking equipment.
Safety
Wood & Supplies
Tools & Equipment
All new Club members go through an induction process before they are permitted to use any of the floor-mounted machinery. Wooden toys are a great way to develop woodworking skills.
Recently we implemented a stronger safety focus; to assist we have adopted a software program Safety Culture that we are rolling out.

The photo shows some of our timber stockpile.
The only timber that we purchase is plywood; we use large quantities of plywood in our laser cutter/ engraver, often making toys for the various charities that we support.
From time to time we receive donations of timber, new and used, that we put into store for future use. Club members can use any of the stock for personal or Club projects.
Toy Making Day

Each month, we have a day dedicated to making toys. Most of these wooden toys will be donated to one of the charities that the Club supports. A small of wooden toys number will be sold to help support the Club's finances.
