Eco Shed (woodwork)

About the project

We learn how to do woodwork. Our group always uses reclaimed wood. Reclaimed means using the wood again to stop it being wasted. We use tools to measure, cut, carve and put together the wood. Lots of our objects are homes for wildlife, furniture and artwork. We sell what we have made. People ask us to build things for them. We decide on a fair price and make what they have asked for. We use the money we make to support the work of the Eco Shed. We help each other.
