Member BBQ at Don Bodinsky’s Workshop – May 26, 2025

Not everything we do has to be a project.

On May 26, 2025, we gathered at Board Director Don Bodinsky’s garage and workshop in Cardiff for a simple member appreciation BBQ. No builds. No plans. Just a chance to spend time together.

Sometimes that’s the most important part.

We fired up the grill—hamburgers, hotdogs, a few beverages—and settled into the kind of evening that doesn’t need much structure. Conversations moved easily. Stories were shared. There was plenty of laughter.

It was shoulder to shoulder, without the expectation of doing anything in particular.

These kinds of moments remind us that the Shed isn’t just about what gets built in the shop. It’s about the connections that form alongside it. Taking the time to step away from tools and projects makes space for something just as valuable—getting to know one another in a more relaxed way.

We’re grateful to Don for opening up his space and hosting the evening. It gave us all a chance to slow down a bit and enjoy the company.

Sometimes that’s enough.
