*New Tools Update*
The horticulture and the building and construction tools have arrived and
are in the inventory online. We are still waiting for a jack hammer which
is on back order.

The *Land Management Tools are being ordered soon* and include a
comprehensive list of tools for farm forestry, bush regeneration, weed
control, fire management and more.

==================
*Lost - Wire Spinner*
Keeping track of the gear loans in the Tool Library we use the MyTurn web
application you can log in to and reserve items. Everything is in. Go to
www.triangletoollibrary.org.au

*But we have lost one item of gear - an old school wire spinner* -
belonging to one of the volunteers. It was loaned to get someone out of a
pickle and so it wasn't in the inventory.

No paperwork was created. A kind loan with an error of judgement. Can we
have it back please? He needs it.

==================
*Finally...*
We have almost completed the upgrade of the *Oil Shed woodwork space*. We
purchased a great collection of static Triton Gear for building and for
workshops.

We are scheduling the verandah to be upgraded soon and we'll have 240v
power and water onsite thanks to the generous donation by the Co-op for the
Oil Shed upgrade.

We've got some very exciting projects in the pipeline for that area. More
news next month.

==================

Many thanks

Monica, Alan, Geoffrey, Mike and the team
including Scott, Steve, Nacre, Eddy, Sean and Lynn.
