next door neighbour is caretaker at local school, came to door yesterday asking if i could use woodworking bench.well as we all know good benches are always useful so said yes.be ready at 8 in morning with trailer he says.got to the school this morning to find 3 benches each with 2vices on load of perspex, 10"rd sandbag for metal shaping and a mini kiln waiting for me.so now got load of excess woodworking vices and a kiln.as hes locking up says they are getting rid of drill presses and bandsaw but will need to sign form stating they are for spares only and not in running condition.they were only pat tested beginning of month.me thinks my neighbour will be getting few crates of beer come payday.
Reply:Sounds like another school is dropping the VOED program. And people wonder why there's a shortage of skilled workers!!
