Do you enjoy creating beautiful and useful items from timber? Would you like to learn how?
Perhaps Burdekin Woodcrafts is the place for you. They are a mixed group of people who enjoy working with their hands to produce something they can admire and find useful, from cutting boards, to jewellery boxes, to items of furniture.
They offer a warm welcome to all and have a mixed membership of all ages from twelve to early eighties, and they are an active club. Rather than sitting around talking, they are usually busily at work, cutting, planning, sanding, etc. to produce their projects, but are also very quick to offer guidance to new members in a genuine spirit of fellowship.
Their well-stocked workshop has a full range of tools from scroll saws to produce fine and delicate work, through to a “Wood Wizz” for levelling large slabs for table tops. All are available for members’ use at a moderate charge to cover running expenses.
Part of their work is providing services for community needs, creating tables, cupboards, benches, or whatever. They will also help in restoring cherished possessions where economically feasible.
Their workshop is at 30 Little Drysdale Street just before the tennis courts. Call in and see them on Wednesday or Saturday mornings from 8:00am to 12:00pm, phone them on 0409 615 559 or 0409 834 156, or find them on Facebook.
