Come in and take a look around our hobby shop – you’ll see state-of-the-art equipment and tools of all types. And check out the cabinets, workbenches and stools, all built by the dedicated group that gets together every weekday morning to cut, drill, pound and paint.
Got a flamingo with a broken beak? Or a tiny table that teeters? Bring it in...the guys will tell you if it’s fixable. Costs are minimal and all monies collected go back into the kitty to buy new supplies.
The hobby shop builds all of the props, scenery, and backdrops for in-house theatre productions. These pieces are used again and again; occasionally certain props are donated to the City of Plantation for use in their recreation programs.
Our library has been outfitted with bookcases built by the shop...as more books come in, more shelves are needed. And the audio/visual team has sets of shelves, which buily in-house.
Outside, the shuffleboard players appreciate having the wooden benches to sit on between turns.
Each year, just before the holidays, the group donates a big batch of wooden toys to the Plantation Historical Museum . These toys are handed out to school children who tour the museum during school break.
If you are interested in using the wood shop, see Steve Taylor for details. You will need to sign a liability waiver to use any equipment or tools. Our shop rules are posted on the door to the wood shop.
Like to paint? Volunteer as much time as you like to paint toys for children and other wood projects.
Make a point to stop in and say hello...they’ll be glad to tell you more about all they do!
