ANNISTON ARMY DEPOT, Ala. -- The depot's Craft Shop, located at the Skills Development Center, is a hobbyist's dream.
There, a wide variety of woodworking equipment is set up and ready to go.
The only thing needed to make anything from a photo frame to cabinetry is the material and a nominal fee.
"This is a do-it-yourself hobby shop," said Andrew Burns, who manages outdoor recreation, which is colocated with the Skills Development Center at the installation.
"The depot supplies the equipment, the facility and some expert guidance for projects," he said.
Patrons in the past have used the facility to complete home renovations, including installing new cabinets, for a fraction of the cost of a contractor.
"If they need to build it, we have the equipment for them to build it," said Burns.
The shop also offers a small variety of retail items, which can be built by the shop's personnel.
In addition to the woodworking shop, a small automotive bay is equipped for oil changes and minor automotive repairs.
Tire repair stations as well as a motorcycle repair bay line the walls and the area features the tools necessary for repairs.
All Morale, Welfare and Recreation patrons are eligible to use the facility for a $25 yearly fee plus $2 per hour of use.
