Gidday folks
I have discussed this with Neil and as such is ADMIN approved.
A friend of mine is heading to a remote island in PNG in January. The aim is to teach the local villagers some basic woodwork skills. They have very little power on the island, only a little generator so hand tools are going to be the focus.
So, what I am asking is, if anyone has old but usable hand tools that fit the list below, and finds that they don't use them, then I know where they can go, and be used to better the lives of people less fortunate than most of us here.
The following is a list of what would be appropriate.
Spokeshaves, Froes, Adzes, Drawknives, sharpening stones, saw files, chisels and gouges, clamps, Drill bits to suit braces, hand saws, back saws.
So far it seems there are more than enough vices and braces (no bloody bits!!).
If you have any of the above, and feel generous enough to pass them on to a worthy cause then let me know by PM.
The notice is a little short as I will need to have things in my hand by the middle of October so that shipment can be organised.
I'm happy to pick up from around Brisbane, within reason.I'm at Wavell Heights in the inner north.
Cheers
Bevan
