Workshop Update

June 1:-
We have had quite a few workshops and are still in the process of compiling data to develop a training program for new smiths.
We have managed to secure a bit of gear from TAFE Panorama recently. We have two power hammers available that we will move in the near future. The rest of the gear comprised of tools, table, drill press, tongs, coke and steel.
Our coke deficit has been remedied for now as long as it isn't all sold off in the next 12 months. We need to retain it for workshops or we will be taking long trips north to get new supplies. The guys at A.B.A.Vic may allow us to secure some coke if we need it and we may have a trucker bring coke from Whyalla for us, but at this stage it's all hypothetical.
The long and boring process of cataloging the equipment is finished at last. The database is required by law so it has been a big job to photograph and detail it all. Abig thanks to Heath for putting the database into an SQL server.
