All the lads in the shed  would like to thank Athy Steel Products Ltd , for their help in donating the steel for the welding course and making the parts for the trailer we refurbished , and all the help they gave us on the projects we are working on. Especially the flue for our wood burner to keep the lads warm in the shed . 


If you need steel or a car trailer , please give Ian a call on 059 86 31454 or visit their web site here

We are still looking for a large amount of Fibergalss to help with the repairs to some of the canoe's belonging to http://www.athyrowingcanoeing.com/  that we spoke about here last week

Some of the guys got their hands on a small fiberglass repair kit , but if you know where we could get larger amounts of fiberglass to help with the repairs , please get in touch

If your considering cleaning out the house shed or garage , now that the longer evening's are beginning to appear , and your wondering what to do with the tools that you no longer need , have a think about donating them to us in Athy Community Mens Shed.

We'll put them to good use

We recently updated our site with a IT wish list , the idea behind it is that there are often companies with large amounts of computer hardware that they will upgrade from time to time.


What we are hoping to do , is get our hands on that hardware that is being disposed of and recycle it back into working machines again.


So if you know of any companies who are looking to dispose of their old hardware , would you be so kind as to ask them to contact us and we can arrange delivery / collection of their machine's.

Just a Quick wish list if someone or some company can help us out .

its not a big list and it would not be too expensive if you could help us out.

We have made a room upstairs above our Kitchen , and to finish it off we need some electricial fittings .

on our list is :

Sockets 2x twin
Bushings 4 x 20mm
Couplings 2x 20mm
Earth Sleeving 1 meter
Florescent Lights 2x 5 foot twin
Surface Switch + Pattress 1x1 gang

Perhaps you have done some electricial work around the house /office /factory and have some of this left over. Would you donate it to us.
You might know a electrical contractor who could have half this stuff hanging around in his or her van, Ask them for us if we could have it.

thanks
