Description
This metal wall plaque gives grandad's workspace a name of its own, with GRANDAD'S SHED spelt out in bold raised capitals and the line IF HE CAN'T FIX IT, NO ONE CAN set just beneath. The silver lettering and narrow silver rim stand out sharply against a black face, and the shiny finish catches the light every time the door swings open. It is a long, slim rectangle with neatly notched corners, the traditional shape of a nameplate, and it measures 19.6cm along its length and 4.9cm across, at 0.7cm thick. The back is plain silver-grey metal.
Its natural home is the shed itself, fixed to the door or to a wall above the workbench, where it tells everyone exactly whose space this is and who to ask when something needs mending. It would sit just as happily in any workshop corner where grandad keeps his tools. As a gift, we think it suits the grandfather who is never happier than with a screwdriver in hand, and it makes a cheerful new home present when he has moved house and is setting up a fresh shed of his own. The wording does all the talking, so it raises a smile from the day it goes up.
Two small fixing holes, one at each end, let you screw it flat to a door, wall or wooden panel, and the slim profile keeps it sitting close to the surface. As a metal plaque it needs very little looking after: dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it over with a damp cloth and dry it straight away to keep the silver lettering bright. When you wrap it, add a note promising to help him put it up, then choose a spot at eye level on the shed door or just inside it, where the words can be read at a glance.
