It was great to have Charlotte and Sven-Erik with us the last month. One of the things that we did was a children's workshop. I have not used hand tools a lot.
Getting the club ready for the workshop involved cleaning it up and getting it into some kind of order. Sven did a lot of the cleaning... We got rid of four mice, one rat, two bats, and I had displaced three squirrels from the club. We managed to get them out without any harm on both sides.
We made numerous trips to shop for hand tools. We visited HMS tools and Kwality Plywood in Vellore many times, and had great shopping trips. We stocked up on hand tools such as mini hacksaws, hammers, files and hand drills.
Below are some of the photos of the first workshop with Sven, where we made name boards. We used finger jointed rubber for the base and some plywood beading (supposedly sourced from China) for the letters.
There was a lot of prep work that was needed to be done to get the boards and the strips ready for the letters. It was fun and a learning experience.
