Help, we need to make some room. Our intrepid cutting board maker has made more cutting boards than we can sell so we are overstocked.
If you need a wooden cutting board, take a look at the web shop and come down to the shed any morning to pick one up at sale prices. Or contact us and we can arrange a time.

Inverloch CFA recently visited Inverloch Mens Shed to provide a fire extinguisher and fire blanket demonstration. On average, there are 3,000 house fires in Victoria each year, would you know what to do?

Electrical fires can start in a flash. ⚡ Understanding the risks when using electrical products is the first step in preventing fires caused by them.

* Grant was around $50k from the Victoria State Government
* Rest was covered from our fundraising.

Unit was supplied by Micronair
* All joints are silicon sealed
* Outside Unit has a silencer fitted to reduce noise

Key points
* Unit is fully automated
* Every drop down has its own gate valve
* Unit automatically detects when a gate is open and how many are open
* Fan unit automatically determines how fast it needs to run for what is open

Cleaning of the unit
* Unit has an automatic cleaning cycle at the press of a button
* All dust is shaken into the two bins underneath
* Bins are sealed to the fan unit above using a leaver mechanism

Come down to the shed any weekday morning to see it in operation and see what other projects we are working on.
