Kidzone 2023
The two new designs for Kidzone have been selected and it's all go from now on to manufacture all the bits and pieces for both toy designs.
It is as always a gigantic task to manufacture thousands of items but back in 2021 we managed to get it all done in time and I believe it can be done this time around also.Lots of members have already put plenty hours into the project on club days and evenings and there also have been a number of working bees where members could be seen working hard to get a great number of bits of wood cut out, sanded and thousands of holes pre drilled .
A great hive of activities for sure a big thank you to all members who are involved and thanks also to Glenda who got everyone a cuppa soup at one of the working bees and cheese rolls, well done !
loads of boxes full of bits
more bits
and more other bits
can't beat banana boxes for storage
and then all these pins needed sanding
hole drilling station
sanders and bandsaw crew
more bandsaw work on the small saw
careful cutting out
the big new sander got a workout
still going strong at 90 !
cutting the blocks
" this is how you do it "
another hole drilling station
holes glorious holes
a two person job at the big sander
Let's hope that the children and their parent (s) will appreciate
how much work goes into the making of the parts and
also let's hope that this years Kidzone is as success full as
the 2021 one or even better maybe.
