Idea for sorting a mixed bucket of screws into smaller pots as relaxation & therapy that can then be used for craft / DIY by community groups

Idea for sorting a mixed bucket of screws into smaller pots as relaxation & therapy 

Cabinz are talking and delivering screws. bost, nuts & nails  to other community groups for use by their members with health & learning issues . They are sorting the fittings. inot tubs of the same fittings.

These mixed buckets are what is left after the larger fittings have been seperated . Below is what sorting Cabinz do to get to that stage

Edit: update

Cabinz have delevered a 18 kg bucket of mixed fixings to 'Woodwork to Wellness' who are trialling this experiment with their members . Fitting sorted in 2 pics below

Pic1

Cabinz get them in a large 500 kg crate. 

The larger fixings are removed by hand in 1/8 to 1/4 kg handlfuls. Then cuped to the chest while being seperated with the other hand .

They are then dropped into seperate plastic tubs or reused paint 10L empty paint buckets (donated from Recipro local paint reuse project)  A thick plastic bag is taped into these buckets to stop dry paint chips getting mixed in with screws 

An alternative method is to put a handful on a tabel & seperate from there  into piles.

Fittings are donated to theses groups for free to be used within the group or distributed further

Re-using water & air filled plastic bottles in a Polypropylene Woven Tube to wrap around a tree as an impact absorbing crash barrier

Re-using water & air filled plastic bottles in a Polypropylene Woven Tube to wrap around a tree as a crash barrier / impact absorber.

A new idea from Paul Ridley . Cabinz project

360mm Woven Polypropylene Tubing (1000m roll) can be bought for £310  Here
so price is 30p a mtr

Empty used plastic bottles , preferably 2 ltr type are filled with water , air or polystyrene chippings and inserted into the tube (exact position to be determined )

Perhaps with tops poking out the top through the pp tube weave so they can be filled with water on site . Lids being replaced & poss glued on .

Bottles could be fastened in place with stitching or cable ties  

The tube should be in a bark  / green moss colour to blend in with tree.

The tube is wrapped around tree or lamp post / telegraph pole e/ along brick wall etc to the desired thickness of protection, then ends fastened in place.

This idea has not been tested or prototyped as yet
