I joined the Tetbury Shed earlier this year ad our workshop is a 20' converted container. Our membership is small running to about 12 blokes and all bar one is retired. We are moving from a rundown industrial estate to a much better site in the New Year and hopefully expanding and getting another container or portacabin. Almost all of the kit we have is either donated or on loan from one of the members. I have started another thread in the turning forum asking about the best small lathe and bandsaw for us to get then the loans are put in to the members own workshop.I joined because I took earlier retirement 29 years back and have been turning ever since. I hope to be able to pass on some of my experience to some of the other members and they seem keen.Do I like the idea of the Shed? Yes I do and think it gives a really good lift to the old bujjers like me and our members. The daughter of one member told me at a craft fair on Sunday that it had really helped her dad and that for me is what it's all about.Mouse said " It only takes one arrogant and bombastic sod to ruin it for everyone." The answer seems to me that if you have a member like that then you tell him/her that if they don't like it then as it's a free country they are free to leave and please shut the door on the way out. If they are upsetting others the same applies.
