Got a call from my daughter-in-law last week to see if I wanted to run triage on the old tools in her deceased Grandfather's shed so I went around on Sunday with my son and had a look. Mostly older, basic hand tools in fair to good condition, plus a bunch of gardening tools, Minimal rust and all good stock for something like a starting-up mens shed. I called my Mens shed to see if they knew of a good home and apparently I just missed the truck that headed off to the eastern states last week with 7 tons! of tools for Mens sheds in the fire ravaged areas of NSW and VIC.

However, I found out that Bassendean Mens Shed were looking for tools as they had a heap stolen a while back. Drove out there this morning and they were most please to take them off my hands including a few from SWMBO fathers stash that nobody in the family wanted. The Bassendean blokes were especially pleased with the gardening tools as they had just started to set up an above ground veggie garden.

Meanwhile if any Perth members have spare tools or even machines, Bassendean mens shed is still looking for stuff.
