The tools workshop (Tools for Self Reliance Milton Keynes) is in Pennyland. It is run by somebody called called Steve Brewer. People in the tools workshop refurbish old tools like saws and hammers and then send them to groups in developing countries like Tanzania or Uganda were they can be re-used. They use wire brushes to remove rust from the metals bits like on the end of hammers and sand paper to clean up the handles. Not only does the work shop send individual tools, it sends entire kits out full of tools to companies that do things like carpentry or bicycle repairs.
The volunteers who go to the tools workshop are mainly residents with co-workers although a few people from outside the community also go.
It's website address is http://tfsr-mk.org.uk/ although you can also find this on the right hand side of this blog.
