…. DIY Fathers Day with a twist
Setting up for the DIY
Bunnings from Rydalmere approached the Parramatta District Men’s Shed Inc. to assist run a DIY evening for Fathers day. The Idea was for our volunteer members to pool their vast expertise and help the children of Dad’s to make a simple item for their Dad.
BUT … Dad (or in one case POP) had to do all the dangerous work!!!!, whilst under supervision from our volunteers.
Choosing the product and materials??
As with any project … it all starts with the selection of the product, the materials to make it from and the tools needed to make it. Our volunteers helped with the choices … in this case it was a “Bungee cord” rack to hold all sorts of odds and sods … like sunglasses, earphone cords from mobile phones, ties …….
Drilling holes for the cord
Then it was time to start the real work, with some careful tuition from our volunteers,
Volunteers instructing
our keen students under the help and guidance of “POP” and “Dad”, showed great talent and a precision most experts would love to see ….
Threading Bungee cord
Age seemed to be no barrier with this young family keenly watching as our young professionals worked tirelessly to their end goal.
A little bit of cutting a dowel
and hey presto …. that was so much fun …..
even POP had a great time with his grand daughter
…. some quality time together.
LOOK “POP” success ….
Hope DAD loves this????
