Tangible Workshop

Tangible Workshop Gold Coast based business designing and manufacturing equipment to make life more fun and easier for those with a disability and their families.

Tangible Workshop was created because we found that much of the rehabilitation and accessibility equipment for children with a disability seemed to not to be suitable for large sections of the community. We decided that as part of that community we had some insight into the needs and wishes, and that we could also manufacture product locally. We have some very skilled small businesses here in South East Queensland and by using all our knowledge then we believe we can come up with sensible, cost effective solutions to problems that exist.

Ok, so a crazy situation, a friend is paralysed from the neck down and has a company over every night to turn him in his bed at his house (stops sores and other things) .Due to the cyclone they have said they cant come tomorrow as they are advised its unsafe for their staff to drive (I dont blame them for that at all). However the suggested alternative was to take him to a 'cyclone drop in centre' and when visited they say they cant help as staff are not medically trained, after a call to 13health for over an hour the outcome was " sorry the only option is taking and dropping him at a hospital' we have no way to deal with things like this. I bet he is not alone in the situation.

Well its beginning to look a lot like Christmas, the shopping centres have carols playing, the Christmas Trees are up and the car parks are a nightmare. I am unsure if we will run another batch of Buggies before we close for the year, but we still have some stock, both intermediate and adult are available for almost immediate dispatch. The run lately has been on juniors which was a bit or a surprise as the intermediates are the most common request as they are from 30 to 85Kg, and 1m to 1.7m tall so suit most people.
The other thing that has stood out is that lately again its gone back to NDIS approved sales rather than the family clubbing together to purchase a beach wheelchair for a member.
Anyhow wishing you all the best whatever you do over the holiday and a however your year has gone- a better one next year.
Our aim is to spend the holiday 'playing' on some new stuff you will all see early next year!

Its coming together, the composite arrived the other day, the cutting plans are sorted, and most of the other parts have been here for a while. I wont enthrall you with the single balanced brake handle that is balanced and pulls the disk brakes on both rear wheels (and includes the handbrake). But its coming together nicely now!
Couple of other projects also ongoing but we will talk about them closer to the time.

A quick Tangible Update, during the move we had a couple of 'incidents' one involving me being unable to walk properly for a month or more, and some lazer issues that we are still solving. Well its looking like another move is on the cards as this place is not working (just as well it was a short term rental).
At the same time there seems to be more than a few 'late night' projects on the go in collaboration with some other groups (thanks Pete at Remarkable) which are now coming together and next week end I will be talking the Inclusion Innovation Day at Queensland University of Technology and then judging.
