Ales and Nails

From Summer Report 29 December 2014

A group of young social entrepreneurs are bringing 'carpentry to the people' with their Ales and Nails events, where people can come along, learn new skills, meet some new people and try a new craft beer.

Teresa Cowie tagged along to one of their events, and built a deck chair out of pallets.
