23 Sep, 2023 Lifestyle & Inspiration Wood for Thought Wood Collections
A HIDDEN GEM
But with waste wood collections, we always see the hidden gem beneath all of this. This was 18-22mm birch ply! And with a bit of TLC, you’d never know it had a previous life.
Over the last few years, this wood has slowly been sold and used in various projects. But when Scottish Libraries contacted us for an order of peg boards for a pilot project, John our workshop supervisor knew exactly how to use up the remaining sheets.
PROTOTYPING
If you’re subscribed to our bi-monthly newsletter, you might have seen us sharing this phase back in May. After delivery, we waited patiently until they sent through photos of the peg boards in their final home.
Delivered in time for the launch of Lend and Mend Hubs across Scotland, Victoria McQuillan (Project Delivery Officer for Lend & Mend Hubs in Public Libraries) said:
The Lend and Mend hubs have been funded by the John Lewis Circular Future Fund, facilitating free access to equipment to repair, reuse, and up-cycle everyday items within local libraries.
Culture Minister Christina McKelvie said:
There’s currently 9 hubs at various stages of functionality across Scotland.
Use the links below to explore the locations which are part of the pilot project.
