You often hear when one door closes another one opens. That’s how Bob Spear likes to think will happen with the Honolulu Kupuna Shed.
The shed is a place where men and women come to learn and work on community woodworking projects. The nonprofit shop has been operating in Kakaʻako and would like to stay in the area. It’s tucked away in a warehouse that will soon make way for a high-rise development.
Speer said the shed expects to lose its lease this summer and is in need of a new home. The Conversation talked to him about the community woodworking nonprofit's hunt for a new home.
