It's great to be set up and running courses for the Summer and Autumn with Kate at Inverquiech Farm again. (Perth Community Farm is also a brilliant venue - especially for the Winter and Spring months when using the bigger polytunnel as a workshop gives us plenty of light and even warmth if there's any sun at all - and I'm planning to move operations back there come the shorter, colder days again. It's fascinating to work at the two places, one right in the city and the other right out in the woods).
THE BIGGER SUSTAINABLE PICTURE
Inverquiech is a lovely place to visit, perched well off the beaten track where the Alyth burn meets the River Isla. People can see many of the aspects of sustainable living happening there, food growing as well as our woodwork, all in a beautiful woodland setting. I firmly believe that it's small projects like this, with a bit of land and woodland, where we'll be able to develop and show people the ideas, designs and techniques that will help people all over the world to adapt to whatever is around the corner...
CUURENT COURSES AT INVERQUIECH
 |
| Another class on the popular Basic Woodwork One course, I'm always delighted to see how much fun everyone has and how they often surprise themselves by making something from scratch with very little or no experience. |
 |
| Inverquiech is a lovely place to visit and we always have a look around - this is a bit of raised ground above the rivers, just down from the ruins of the castle. |
 |
| We made a really good start on a second tiny house for Inverquiech on the Sheds, Vans and Tiny House course last weekend. That's the first truss... |
 |
| ... and this is the frame we made to fit on top of our salvaged caravan chassis... |
 |
| ... fitting the floor on top of that... |
 |
| ... and that's the chassis. It's very rusty so we're making the tiny house structure as a unit that could be lifted off and put onto a different base at some point in the future if needs be. Meantime it has wheels... |
