Tolkien (2019) Promo Post

Summary: This 2019 biopic explores the early life of J. R. R. Tolkien – the friendships he forged at school in Birmingham and later at Oxford, his romance with Edith Bratt, his experiences in the First World War, and of course the blossoming of his lifelong fascination with linguistics and mythology.

Why should I check out this canon?  Let’s get this out of the way up front – opinions on the film were decidedly mixed when it came out.  Yes, I admit, it does take a few liberties with the facts as we might know them from Humphrey Carpenter’s biography, the Letters, or John Garth’s Tolkien and the Great War – but in terms of situating the man and his passions within the generation of doomed young men who went to war and came back irrevocably changed, if they came back at all?  It nails it.  The cast are wonderful, the score gorgeous, and there are some lovely nods to book-readers: the scene with Edith dancing in the woods, which famously inspired the meeting of Beren and Lúthien, is beautifully done.  What makes this film for me, though, is Tolkien’s relationship with his school friends – especially with Geoffrey Bache Smith.  (The queer subtext is very, very deliberate.)

Where can I get this?  In the UK it’s available on Disney+, or to rent on Amazon Prime for £3.49.  Availability in other geographies may vary.  A quick Google suggests it’s not too tricky to get hold of on DVD or Blu-Ray so your local public library might be an option too.

What fanworks already exist?  There are 21 fanworks on AO3, ranging from tiny ficlets to novellas.  Many involve Tolkien interacting with characters from his own legendarium.

We have to face the fact that Elizabeth hated piracy and left it for good. She wanted a peaceful life and that is exactly what she got.

We have to face the fact that Bruce Lorne Campbell (born June 22, 1958) is an American actor and moviemaker. He is known best for his role as Ash Williams in Sam Raimi's Evil Dead horror series, beginning with the short movie Within the Woods (1978). He has also featured in many low-budget cult movies such as Crimewave (1985), Maniac Cop (1988), Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat (1989), and Bubba Ho-Tep (2002).

Bruce Lorne Campbell[1] was born in Royal Oak, Michigan, on June 22, 1958,[2] the son of advertising executive and college professor Charles Newton Campbell and homemaker Joanne Louise (née Pickens).[3] He is of English and Scottish ancestry,[1] and has an older brother named Don and an older half-brother named Michael.[4] His father was also an actor and director for local theater.[3] Campbell began acting and making short Super 8 movies with friends as a teenager. After meeting future moviemaker Sam Raimi while the two attended Wylie E. Groves High School, they became good friends and collaborators. Campbell attended Western Michigan University and continued to pursue an acting career.[5]

Campbell and Raimi collaborated with a 30-minute Super 8 version of the first Evil Dead movie, titled Within the Woods (1978), which was initially used to attract investors.[6] He and Raimi got together with family and friends to begin working on The Evil Dead (1981). While featuring as the protagonist, Campbell also participation with the production of the movie, receiving a co-executive producer credit. Raimi wrote, directed, and edited the movie, while Rob Tapert produced. After an endorsement by horror author Stephen King, the movie slowly began to receive attention and offers for distribution.[7] Four years after its original release, it became the most popular movie in the UK. It was then distributed in the United States, resulting in the sequels Evil Dead II (1987) and Army of Darkness (1992).[8]

Campbell was also drawn in the Marvel Zombie comics as his character, Ash Williams. He is featured in five comics, all in the series Marvel Zombies vs. Army of Darkness. In them, he fights alongside the Marvel heroes against the heroes and people who have become zombies (deadites) while in search of the Necronomicon (Book of the Names of the Dead).[9] Campbell also played as Coach Boomer in the movie “Sky High”.

He has appeared in several of Raimi's movies other than the Evil Dead series, notably having cameo appearances in the director's Spider-Man film series.[10] Campbell also joined the cast of Raimi's movie Darkman[11] and The Quick and the Dead, though having no actual screen time in the latter movie's theatrical version.[12] In March 2022, Campbell was announced to have a cameo in Raimi's Marvel Cinematic Universe film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.[13]

Campbell often performs quirky roles, such as Elvis Presley for the movie Bubba Ho-Tep.[14] Along with Bubba Ho-Tep, he played a supporting role in Maniac Cop and Maniac Cop 2, and spoofed his career in the self-directed My Name is Bruce.[15]

Other mainstream movies for Campbell include supporting or featured roles in the Coen Brothers movie The Hudsucker Proxy, the Michael Crichton adaptation Congo, the movie version of McHale's Navy, Escape From L.A. (the sequel to John Carpenter's Escape From New York), the Jim Carrey drama The Majestic and the 2005 Disney movie Sky High.[16]

Campbell had a major voice role for the 2009 animated adaptation of the children's book Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and a supporting voice role for Pixar's Cars 2.[17]

Campbell produced the 2013 remake of The Evil Dead, along with Raimi and Rob Tapert, appearing in the movie's post-credits scene in a cameo role with the expectation he would reprise that role in Army of Darkness 2.[18] The next year, the comedy metal band Psychostick released a song titled "Bruce Campbell" on their album IV: Revenge of the Vengeance that pays a comedic tribute to his past roles.

Campbell worked as an executive producer for the 2023 movie Evil Dead Rise.[19]

Other than cinema, Campbell has appeared in a number of television series. He featured in The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. a boisterous science fiction comedy western created by Jeffrey Boam and Carlton Cuse that played for one season.[20] He played a lawyer turned bounty hunter who was trying to hunt down John Bly, the man who killed his father. He featured in the television series Jack of All Trades, set on a fictional island occupied by the French in 1801. Campbell was also credited as co-executive producer, among others. The show was directed by Eric Gruendemann, and was produced by various people, including Sam Raimi.[21] The show was broadcast for two seasons, from 2000 to 2001. He had a recurring role as "Bill Church Jr." based upon the character of Morgan Edge from the Superman comics on Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.[22]

From 1996 to 1997, Campbell was a recurring guest actor of the television series Ellen as Ed Billik, who becomes Ellen's boss when she sells her bookstore in season four.[23]

He is also known for his supporting role as the recurring character Autolycus ("King of Thieves") on both Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess, which reunited him with producer Rob Tapert.[24] Campbell played Hercules/Xena series producer Tapert in two episodes of Hercules set in the present.[25] He directed a number of episodes of Hercules and Xena, including the Hercules series finale.[26]

Campbell also obtained the main role of race car driver Hank Cooper for the Disney made-for-television remake of The Love Bug.[27]

Campbell had a critically acclaimed dramatic guest role as a grief-stricken detective seeking revenge for his father's murder in a two-part episode of the fourth season of Homicide: Life on the Street. Campbell later played the part of a bigamous demon in The X-Files episode "Terms of Endearment".[28] He also featured as Agent Jackman in the episode "Witch Way Now?" of the WB series Charmed, as well as playing a state police officer in an episode of the short-lived series American Gothic titled "Meet The Beetles".

Campbell co-featured in the television series Burn Notice, which was broadcast from 2007 to 2013 by USA Network. He portrayed Sam Axe, a beer-chugging, former Navy SEAL now working as an unlicensed private investigator and occasional mercenary with his old friend Michael Westen, the show's main character. When working undercover, his character frequently used the alias Chuck Finley, which Bruce later revealed was the name of one of his father's old co-workers.[29] Campbell was the star of a 2011 Burn Notice made-for-television prequel focusing on Sam's Navy SEAL career, titled Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe.[30]

In 2014, Campbell played Santa Claus for an episode of The Librarians. Campbell played Ronald Reagan in season 2 of the FX original series Fargo. More recently Campbell reprised his role as Ashley "Ash" Williams in Ash vs Evil Dead,[31] a series based upon the Evil Dead series that began his career. Ash vs Evil Dead began airing on Starz on October 31, 2015, and was renewed by the cable channel for second[32] and third seasons,[33] before being cancelled.[34]

In January 2019, Travel Channel announced a new version of the Ripley's Believe It or Not! reality series, with Campbell serving as host and executive producer. The 10-episode season debuted on June 9, 2019.[35]

Campbell is featured as a voice actor for several video games. He provides the voice of Ash in the four games based on the Evil Dead movies series: Evil Dead: Hail to the King, Evil Dead: A Fistful of Boomstick, Evil Dead: Regeneration and Evil Dead: The Game.[36] He also provided voice talent in other titles such as Pitfall 3D: Beyond the Jungle, Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man 3, The Amazing Spider-Man,[37] and Dead by Daylight.[38]

He provided the voice of main character Jake Logan for the PC game, Tachyon: The Fringe, the voice of main character Jake Burton for the PlayStation game Broken Helix and the voice of Magnanimous for Megas XLR. Campbell voiced the pulp adventurer Lobster Johnson in Hellboy: The Science of Evil and has done voice-over work for the Codemaster's game Hei$t, a game which was announced on January 28, 2010 to have been "terminated". He also provided the voice of The Mayor for the 2009 movie Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, the voice of Rod "Torque" Redline in Cars 2, the voice of Himcules in the 2003 Nickelodeon TV series My Life as a Teenage Robot, and the voice of Fugax in the 2006 movie The Ant Bully.[37]

Despite the inclusion of his character "Ash Williams" in Telltale Games' Poker Night 2, Danny Webber voices the character in the game, instead of Bruce Campbell.[39]

He has a voice in the online MOBA game, Tome: Immortal Arena in 2014.[40] Campbell also provided voice-over and motion capture for Sgt. Lennox in the Exo Zombies mode of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.[41]

In addition to acting and occasionally directing, Campbell has become a writer, starting with an autobiography, If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor, published in June 2001.[42] The autobiography was a successful New York Times Best Seller.[43] It describes Campbell's career to date as an actor in low-budget movies and television, providing his insight into "Blue-Collar Hollywood".[42] The paperback version of the book adds details about the reactions of fans during book signings: "Whenever I do mainstream stuff, I think they're pseudo-interested, but they're still interested in seeing weirdo, offbeat stuff, and that's what I'm attracted to".[42]

Campbell's next book Make Love! The Bruce Campbell Way was published on May 26, 2005. The book's plot involves him (depicted in a comical way) as the main character struggling to make it into the world of A-list movies.[44] He later recorded an audio play adaptation of Make Love with fellow Michigan actors, including longtime collaborator Ted Raimi. This radio drama was released by the independent label Rykodisc and spans 6 discs with a 6-hour running time.

In addition to his books, Campbell also wrote a column for X-Ray Magazine in 2001, an issue of the popular comic series The Hire, and comic book adaptations of his Man with the Screaming Brain. Most recently he wrote the introduction to Josh Becker's The Complete Guide to Low-Budget Feature Filmmaking.

In late 2016, Campbell announced that he would be releasing a third book, Hail to the Chin: Further Confessions of a B Movie Actor, which will detail his life from where If Chins Could Kill ended. Hail to the Chin was released in August 2017, and accompanied by a book tour across the United States and Europe.[45]

Campbell maintained a weblog on his official website, where he posted mainly about politics and the movie industry, though it has since been deleted.[46]

Since 2014, the Bruce Campbell Horror Film Festival, narrated and organized by Campbell, was held in the Muvico Theater in Rosemont, Illinois. The first festival was originally from August 21 to 25, 2014, presented by Wizard World, as part of the Chicago Comicon.[47] The second festival was from August 20 to 23, 2015, with guests Tom Holland and Eli Roth.[48] The third festival took place over four days in August 2016.[49] Guests of the event were Sam Raimi, Robert Tapert and Doug Benson.[50]

Campbell married Christine Deveau in 1983, and they had two children before divorcing in 1989. He met costume designer Ida Gearon while working on Mindwarp, and they were married in 1992.[51] They reside in Jacksonville, Oregon.[51]

Campbell is also ordained and has performed marriage ceremonies.[52]

https://www.instagram.com/p/CnPOH-xu4X2/?igshid=YWJhMjlhZTc= New Six casting call! Think this’ll be the 2023-24 Aragon and Boleyn tours or have those already been set in stone y’think, abd this is for 2024-25?

It’s just not that clear or definitive! Before I get started let me quickly mention that Six also had auditions for Bway/tours in Chicago in 2020 and in LA in 2021, and has also since announced open calls for Nashville and Orlando (I’d expect with more to come).

Two general categories of auditions:

1. General calls “for future replacements” if needed. The intent of these usually isn’t to cast for a specific production or role. It’s not even uncommon for shows to not even have open roles when doing a future replacements audition! The intent is instead to hold auditions so that they can see what actors are out there that might be a good fit for when they DO need replacements. Sometimes these are an Equity submission call, sometimes they’re non-Eq open calls; sometimes they’re held in NYC, sometimes they’re not. But “for future replacements” is just about seeing people for the future as they might need rhem, rather than casting a specific production or a specific cast change.

2. Auditions/callbacks for a specific cast, held when they need to cast/re-cast specific roles. These are often labeled on notices as “for immediate replacement” (which doesn’t actually mean that actors start rehearsals or debut immediately, just that they’re putting out a call with the intent of casting for the actual immediate future). Usually these are calls for agent/unrepresented actor submissions. Sometimes they can also be open calls, and Six did have these open calls for WE/UKT way back when, but we won’t see this style of open calls for the US/UK again.

So…Six is doing the first scenario: future replacements, not for immediate (ergo not inherently for a specific cast). More specifically, they’re doing an open call outside of NYC. That’s basically functioning as them going “okay, we’ve held enough auditions in NYC now that we know what actors here we might be interested in for the future, and now we want to see what types of actors/singers we might be missing from outside of NYC.” Sometimes that’s about finding new actors from up and coming theatre scenes, sometimes that’s about exploring musical theatre scenes outside of NYC, sometimes going to cities with performers who might have more of a background in pop/music than musical theatre, etc. Some shows hold non-NYC open calls intentionally in cities with a racially diverse population; often that’s to try and see more actors of a specific racial background, who may not have been able to move to NYC due to structural racism (etc) in the theatre industry, or who choose to stay in a city where the local theatre industry is known for being a little bit more accepting/diverse/does more shows that they’re passionate about often because of a cultural element. For example, The Wiz is holding open auditions in Atlanta, which is one of the US cities with the largest Black populations and a thriving theatre/film/arts scene that often heavily features Black actors/creatives, so them holding an audition there helps them check out that casting pool as well as NY! All around, these sorts of open calls are just all about expanding horizons and seeing who might be out there that they just don’t see in NYC!

For some examples: Nashville + LA are two huge music cities with a ton of artists who might also have a theatre background and be a great fit for Six. Both have some of the most elite college/university music programs which gives Six a chance to potentially see some up and comers (vocal performance or musical theatre) who might be a good fit for Six either now or in the future (Aryn Bohannon, Gabriela Carrillo, Madeline Fansler, Wesley Carpenter are a few of the queens who went to those colleges!). LA + Chicago are both incredibly diverse (both with immigrant populations and as popular destinations for Black Americans during the Great Migration) and Orlando is pretty diverse as well. Chicago is also known for having one of the most diverse and progressive theatre scenes (there’s a reason Six debuted there first!). Nashville is less diverse itself (although still solidly so), but is in a pretty central spot of the Southeastern US and within a few hours’ drive of several cities that serve as huge cultural and artistic hotspots for Black American. LA + Chicago both have larger musical theatre scenes, but they generally (not always) have less crossover with the NYC scene because of travel constraints so there are some great musical theatre actors in those cities who might be missed in normal auditions (Cassie Silva + Gabriela Carrillo are both LA-based, Keirsten Hodgens and most of the og NA Tour cast were Chicago-based).

All that to say….those open calls are just a few days, long enough for initial singing audition, a dance callback, and sometimes another singing round for the auditionees to sing from the show. That gives the casting team enough of a feel for the actor, their vibe, and whether or not they might be a good fit for the show in the future. But they can’t do chemistry reads and it’s not at all long enough to decidedly cast them in the show. So…if they DO think an actor is a good fit for the show overall, then that actor might be called into NYC in the future to join the audition process for a specific production and replacement timeline. If so, they’d be auditioning alongside anyone Six brought in from agent submissions plus any other actors called in from the assorted open calls. But that could happen any time - two days after the initial open call, three weeks after, six months after, two years after, all of the above? All completely in the realm of possibility. It just depends on if the production/roles they’re casting at any given moment could be a good fit for the individual actor. If you do get called into those production-specific callbacks, the rest of the process will the same as it is for the other actors there.

Re 2023-2024 or 2024-2025. No, 2023-2024 casts aren’t remotely cast yet. Last I heard Aragon Tour had started the super early stages of auditions but won’t be cast for a long time (the process almost always drags on for months). Boleyn Tour and Broadway each won’t start casting in earnest for probably 5-6+ months yet. Individual actors from these open calls could get called in for any of the above or even for 2024-2025 (I’d guess some of both, and some individuals will get called in for both). It’s really a huge toss up!

Sorry for the very long (and late) answer, but hopefully it answers your questions! I know that’s a ton and the whole thing is confusing, so if there’s anything that needs clarification let me know and I’m happy to clear it up!

Earlier this month, Sabrina released her second single from the forthcoming album, “Please Please Please” - listen here and watch the music video here. Sabrina enlisted GRAMMY-Award-winning Jack Antonoff and Amy Allen as collaborators for the single. “Please Please Please” hit #1 on Spotify’s Global and US charts, #1 on Apple Music and this week, it debuted at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. Sabrina debuted the song live at Governors Ball in New York earlier this month. Featured on several “Best of” lists after the festival, including Billboard and Rolling Stone, the former of which also declared “there’s an innate confidence in Carpenter’s presence onstage, an effortless ease that emerges as she exchanges winks and quips with the audience, then locks right back into performance mode an instant later”. Sabrina will also be headlining Outside Lands Music Festival on August 10th -- this will be her first time performing at the San Francisco festival. Single Day and 3-Day tickets are currently on sale here. See “Espresso” below: https://youtu.be/eVli-tstM5E?si=mCYzSBYVTGD4x84K The album’s lead single, “Espresso,” was released in April and instantly became a smash hit. The Platinum-certified single became Sabrina’s fourth hit on the Billboard Hot 100, where it’s currently #3 this week, and her first Top 5 on the chart where she now has two of the top three songs this week. It captured the #1 spot on the Spotify Global, US, and UK charts and hit #1 on the UK Singles Chart. It also reached #1 on the Billboard Global 200 chart. Of the single, Uproxx stated “Carpenter has a knack for coming up with pop hits, and “Espresso” has shown to be one of her biggest so far” while The New York Times heralded the single as the song ready to “propel her to the next level.” The sentiment has been proven true and the bonafide star blew fans away with her debut Coachella performance shortly following the release of “Espresso.” Los Angeles Times cited her among “The 15 Best Things We Saw at Coachella 2024,” going on to profess, “Carpenter already had put more effort into her set than some past Coachella headliners”. And just last month she made her debut as the musical guest on the season finale of Saturday Night Live. Earlier this year, Sabrina made headlines as she joined Taylor Swift on the international leg of her highly acclaimed ERA’S Tour in Mexico, South America, Australia, and Singapore.

How To Find Qualified Tradespeople In Your Area

In the past three years, 64% of people in the UK needed to call a tradesperson and 37% of them struggled to find someone to complete the job. It's a problem that many of us face and a frustration that none of us need. 'There must be a better way!', we hear you scream out loud (sometimes with a FFS thrown in there for good measure).

There are a number of ways to find qualified tradespeople in your area. One way is to ask family and friends for recommendations. Another way is to search online directories that list tradespeople by region and category of trade. Of course, there is also the old reliable Google, but what if you haven't got time to sit trawling through hundreds of tradesmen comparison sites or Google results? That's where Bokafix comes in but we'll get to that in a minute!

Once you have a few names, it's important to research each one to make sure they are trustworthy and reliable. Over 13% of homeowners have been the victim of botched jobs in the UK so it's important to do your homework! Check online reviews and see if there are any complaints lodged against them with your national or regional consumer watchdog, or local authority. You can also find the relevant trade association and check credentials for regulated skilled trades such as plumbers or electricians for example. It's also a good idea to ask for references from past clients. When you've found a few tradespeople you feel comfortable with, get quotes from each one for the job you need doing. Be sure to compare apples to apples - that is, make sure each quote is for the same scope of work. Once you have the quotes, you can decide which tradesperson to hire based on price, reviews, and your own gut feeling.

Once the job is complete, be sure to inspect it carefully. Make sure the work meets your expectations and is up to regulation standards. If you have any concerns or uncertainty, be sure to raise them with the tradesperson right away, any legit company should be happy to provide documentation or information on the required standards. More often than not, you'll find that most reputable tradespeople will want to make things right if there are any problems with their work, but if you do find yourself in a situation where the work is not up to par, you may need to file a complaint with trading standards or take legal action. You can get advice on rouge tradesman and how to proceed at government bodies like Citizens advice in the UK who received reports of over 234,825 cases related to home improvement in the last five years. In most cases, however, a simple conversation with the tradesperson will suffice.

With 52% of people having had someone claiming to be a trader call out of the blue or turn up unannounced at their door, it's important to know your stuff and get it right!

In summary:

If you are looking for quality local tradespeople including skilled trades like electricians, plumbers, carpenters and gas technicians, Bokafix has created a solution that cuts out the hard work and makes booking quick and simple. Download the Bokafix app to book qualified, vetted tradespeople instantly. The app shows Fixer customer reviews and also provides in-app payment.

How to Get It Right How to Choose the Best Carpenter Services

Define your requirements: Clearly define the purpose for your undertaking. Are you seeking custom furniture, home renovations, or even smaller repairs? Knowing your needs in detail will allow you to narrow down carpenters who are skilled in the specific type of work you need.

Local search: Get started locally. You can use websites, directories of businesses or even recommendations from family and friends to find the services of a Carpenter in UK. A local carpenter will result in faster response times and more efficient communication.

Check Credentials: Verify that they're licensed, insured and possess the required qualifications. A carpenter who is licensed meets the standards of the industry, and insurance ensures your safety and property during the work.

Browse Portfolios: Ask to view the portfolios of previous examples of work from prospective carpenter service providers. A well-documented and diverse portfolio displays their expertise as well as their craftsmanship and flexibility. This evidence will give confidence in their ability to manage the task.

Review and testimonials: Take the time to look through reviews and testimonials from former clients. The carpenter's website provides insight into the experiences of other customers. Be aware of feedback regarding the quality of work, communication, and general satisfaction.

Interviews multiple Carpentry Solutions: Don't settle for the first carpenter services you discover. Interview several candidates to gain an idea of their style of communication and understanding of the project, and their willingness to work together. This is a crucial step in creating a positive working relationship.

Ask about experience and Expertise: Ask about the experience of the carpenter in the field and their experience when it comes to specific materials or projects. A skilled carpenter will be more adept at navigating difficulties efficiently and producing top-quality outcomes.

Get Detailed Quotes: Request specific quotes from carpenter companies you're thinking of. The quote should explain expenses, including materials, labor, and any additional costs. Review quotes to ensure that they are in line with the budget you have set.

Discuss timelines and availability: Clearly discuss project timelines and the carpenter's availability. A reliable carpenter will give a realistic timetable and keep you updated on any possible delays or modifications. Communication about timelines and deadlines is essential for planning projects.

Guarantees and contracts: Discuss the guarantee of the quality of workmanship and the materials. A trustworthy carpenter company should be able to guarantee their work. Be sure that all expectations, terms, and details of the project are clearly stated in a contract written before work commences.

Look for references: Request references from previous clients. Contacting individuals who have worked with carpenter service can give you additional insight into their reliability, professionalism, and overall quality of their work.

The right choice of carpenter requires careful consideration of qualifications and communication, as well as past work and pricing. Follow these steps and do exhaustive research. You can find a carpenter who not only meets your project's requirements but also brings expertise and expertise on the job, assuring that your plan is executed with a high level of precision and quality.

Two decades later, she's hoping to change that misconception.

Ms Martin delivers hands-on woodworking classes at the Two Sheds Workshop, a space dedicated to teaching carpentry skills to women and children.

She's passing on the skills she developed while working on sets in the UK to a class of teenage girls.

"It is definitely a really different space to walk into as a student, and as a female student to be taught these skills that are usually so male-dominated."

Ten students from local schools have come to the workshop in the heart of Bega in the NSW south east.

The course is part of a NSW Department of Education regional industry program.

The space is small but brims with opportunity. Rays of daylight illuminate the fine sawdust in the air while tools are sprawled across the workbenches.

The room is buzzing with the sounds of sawing and drilling wood while the girls work.

Each is building a bar stool.

"It's been really cool with this group. We've got the different schools coming together and it's really nice just to see how they relate with each other and get on and help each other. It's a nice cohesion that happens," Ms Martin said.

Student Matilda Darroch thinks so too.

"I think we all work pretty well together," she said.

Matilda, who also studies manual arts at her school, says having a small class sets the workshop apart from her usual co-educational school classroom.

"It feels pretty good having it just girls," she said.

Across the Australian construction industry, women represent just 2 per cent of those employed in physical labour roles, according to advocacy group the National Association Of Women In Construction (NAWIC).

The non-for-profit organisation says that for those women working, there is also a pay gap.

For every year worked, women must work an extra 106 days to earn the same wage as their male counterparts.

Jo Saccomani had worked as a carpenter for 30 years before starting up Two Sheds Workshop in Bega.

Seeing a room full of young women equipping themselves with skills typically associated with men fills her with hope for the future.

"With Two Sheds, I want to create a place where women and kids can learn stuff and their gender is not an issue," workshop director Ms Saccomani said.

"Aside from learning your trade, the main thing you have to do is learn how to deal with sexism and the culture of those trades.

"When women are on the job site, you're so conspicuous in that … it is the main thing you are, 'a woman on site'.

"So, to see girls be able just to focus on the building in this program, and to step up and take the opportunity, is really encouraging."

A guide for dog-friendly interior design https://ift.tt/syuAK7j There is an estimated population of 10.2 million pet dogs in the UK! We’re dog lovers for sure. If getting a puppy is at the top of your wish list, there are a few things you should prepare in advance, in order to get your home ready to welcome your new furry friend. So, for advice on creating a pet home your dog will love, keep reading! Picking the right pet for your home Owning a pet is a big deal. To prioritise animal welfare, you should consider 3 important factors before you choose a pet. These are: how much space, time and money do you have to dedicate to your new family member? But, most importantly, what changes will you need to make to your home in order to be able to properly accommodate your new pet? Dogs and puppies The needs of a pet dog will depend on its breed and age, but there are also some general consistencies. They need space to play, rest and go to the toilet. If those needs aren’t met, you’re at risk of having a messy and destructive dog. So, make sure you prepare your home beforehand. Here are some of your options if you’re preparing for a puppy: Design a luxury dog room There are plenty of dog bedroom ideas to create a space your pet dog loves. You can fill it with engaging toys, a soft bed and an automatic feeder. Give them extra freedom by situating the room on the ground floor with access to a door that can be automated to let them out into the garden. Install a traditional dog kennel An outdoor wooden kennel might fit the bill for your family. It gives your dog the freedom to explore outside while still having shelter in bad weather or when they just want a rest. Cabinet or under-stair kennels work just as well at giving your dog their own space. To start your kennel transformation, find a carpenter on Rated People. FIND A LOCAL CARPENTER Create a dog nook You could go open plan and create a nook in your home where your dog bed, feeder and toys are kept. This keeps everything organised without taking up too much space. Not all dogs (especially smaller breeds) need a separate kennel. A luxury dog bed in a quiet doggy rest area is perfect for them. Creating multi-functional spaces like this was one of the most popular home improvement projects in 2021. How to make your home dog-friendly From a whole room to just a nook, there are lots of ways you can make your new dog feel at home. For advice on the needs of different breeds and safety considerations, consult your vet, rescue centre or animal welfare charities.
