00:00Very nice to see you. This is your men's shed, right?

00:06Yes, yes, yes.

00:07Fantastic.

00:08This is the building we came for.

00:10Every men's shed smells of carpentry.

00:12Absolutely.

00:13You can smell the carpentry.

00:14Yes, yes, yes.

00:15These are some of the things that we do.

00:16These are some of the things that we do, yes.

00:17Some of the larger things that we do.

00:18Some of the smaller things that surround the corner here.

00:21Right.

00:22But we're going for a cup of tea.

00:24Fantastic, yes.

00:25Yes, OK.

00:26After you, Finn.

00:27After you.

00:29Yeah, yeah, Nathan's right.

00:31There's two John's in the front, I know that.

00:35And have you all been coming to Men's Shed for quite a while?

00:38I've been seven years.

00:40Seven years?

00:41Seven years.

00:42It was five years in Arbroath, Men's Shed, and then I came here.

00:46This is a better shed.

00:47A better shed, is it?

00:48It's much friendlier.

00:49OK.

00:50Nicer atmosphere.

00:51So I've been here two years, the total of two years.

00:54OK.

00:56Saw off the ground, sort of started.

00:58Not quite, no.

01:04He's occupational.

01:21You're looking good, David.

01:22Yeah.

01:23Looking strong.

01:25And have you only been here a few times?

01:27About four times.

01:29Yeah, yeah.

01:30Do you like building stuff?

01:31Building tables, making things?

01:35Oh, OK.

01:36Yeah, good.

01:41You're looking good.

01:42You feeling strong?

01:43Yeah.

01:44It takes a while, doesn't it?

01:45It does.

01:54Once.

01:55Once?

01:56Yeah.

01:57Was it for me?

01:58Yeah.

01:59Yeah.

02:00This is for you, David.

02:01You've come up quite a few times?

02:02Yeah, yeah.

02:03Good.

02:04I think that the Men's Shed gives an opportunity to let you come out and engage with people

02:06and get back to people.

02:08It's important to stay connected.

02:10Yeah, yeah.

02:11Doing stuff and seeing people and being there.

02:14And the crew should listen here.

02:16Oh, yeah.

02:17No.

02:25David.

02:26Oh, OK.

02:27You were born in Birmingham?

02:28Yeah.

02:29Right.

02:30Yeah, yeah.

02:31OK.

02:32Whereabouts in Birmingham?

02:33Erm...

02:34Oh, God.

02:35Erm...

02:36Can you do the first wave then?

02:38Erm...

02:40No.

02:41I'm headed a certain way here, David, because you said,

02:43I was born in Birmingham.

02:44You said, I enjoy watching football.

02:45Yeah.

02:46So I'm going to ask you another question, David.

02:48Who do you support?

02:49What football team do you support, David?

02:52Curling.

02:53Yeah.

02:54Erm...

02:55What's the rigour?

02:56Yeah.

02:57OK, yeah.

02:58What football team?

03:00Yeah.

03:01Which football team?

03:03You haven't mentioned it.

03:04All you said here is you enjoy watching football.

03:06Erm...

03:07Do you support a football team, David?

03:09I don't know.

03:10I don't want traps in the Men's Shed.

03:12We'll soon find out.

03:13This is Alec.

03:14Hi, nice to meet you.

03:15And Alec's going to show you how to build a tree hugger.

03:17A tree hugger?

03:18Yeah.

03:19OK, brilliant.

03:20I'm going to put a plate there, if you follow that,

03:22Alec, I'm sure, will help me.

03:23This is like a bit of pizza, Alec.

03:25Here's one I made earlier.

03:26Look at that.

03:27Did you make this one?

03:30It's quite a big bit of kit to make.

03:34Look at that.

03:35OK.

03:37This could take us a while.

03:39Yeah, go on.

03:44Here we go.

03:45Right, Alec, I'm in your hands.

03:48Make sure I don't lose your fingers.

03:54One in there.

03:59OK, are we in the right spots?

04:01Yeah.

04:05I'll try not to take your thumb off my fingers at the same time.

04:18These are for, like, bird boxes, aren't they?

04:22Do you screw them into the tree?

04:24Yeah.

04:37There you go.

04:38Good brute force.

04:39Perfect.

04:42Brilliant.

04:43Is that in?

04:44That's it.

04:45Brilliant.

04:46Brilliant.

04:50Brilliant.

04:55Very good, Boris.

04:56Yeah.

04:57That's when it comes off when it's on the tree, Alec.

04:59That's the problem.

05:00There's a bird nest in it and the whole thing drops off.

05:04I made a quick and easy thing.

05:05Yeah.

05:10Happy that's in?

05:11Yeah.

05:31And then the birds nest in here.

05:33Brilliant.

05:36And then that's it.

05:37Clearing it out.

05:38Brilliant.

05:39You just tie them round the tree and you can screw them in.

05:41Just tie them round the tree.

05:42I'll just show you.

05:43Just for a quick handout.

05:45Thank you very much.

05:46Brilliant.

05:47And it's not falling apart.

05:48And it looks roughly the same.

05:49So I think it's a success.

05:50It's worth it.

05:51It's worth it.

05:52I'm sorry it's not the villa colour.

05:53That's all right.

05:54It's good.

05:55It's close enough.

05:56Close enough.

05:57Close enough.

05:58Thank you very much.

05:59You're welcome.

06:00Right.

06:01First, thank you very much on behalf of our lovely venture.

06:06I feel so privileged.

06:08I really do feel so privileged.

06:10I hope you get on very well.

06:11Lovely Sundays.

06:12Yes.
