John has spent his working life as an engineer and craftsman. Formerly working as a design engineer and  on retirement he decided to set up workshops.

Securing workspace, serious quality tools and equipment. 

Dabbling in Men Sheds he soon dismissed that concept, so John, with the assistance of others  setup a community workshop. Open to all, and free to use. Sharedworks continues on.

 With the encouragement of others, John decided to move away from his somewhat regimented traditional design constraints and find out if he had an "artistic side".
