Woodworking is one great recreational activity that people with age-related limitations can take up easily, is rewarding, and also counts as exercise! Project ‘My Active Life’ inspired by TADSA commenced a woodworking program that continued across 3 weeks in partnership with the Men’s Shed in Strathalbyn. The program was targeted at providing opportunity for the aged and for those with limitations to engage with like-minded people, learn a new skill, enhance their creativity, have some fun while making things they love. The group had a memorable time learning the functions of machinery and material, machine safety, activities around using different tools such as routers, jig saw, nailing and de-nailing, cutting, clamping, polishing and a lot more which kept their hands and minds very busy. The program also helped them build a sustainable partnership with the Men’s Shed through which they can engage in their hobbies.
