WOODWORK

Our workshop opens Tuesday & Thursday 10:00 - 3:00pm, Sundays from 1.00pm to 4.00pm depending on the availabilities of leaders / members.  

For safety reasons, an experienced leader must be present before the shed can be opened and a minimum of two members before machinery is used.

Any competent member can become a leader and specialist trade training is not required.  Woodwork is learnt ‘shoulder to shoulder’ in the Men’s Shed way.  Formal training is restricted to a short course induction to minimise risk of personal injury.

To support the shed financially, our members carry out small repairs for the general public and make items for sale. 

There are no large-scale manufacturing or competition with local businesses.  Many thanks to these businesses that provide generous support to our shed.

There are no additional fees or expenses.  Basic items such as glue, screws, abrasives and tools are provided. 

Members are responsible for supplying their own timber; however, the shed occasionally has limited stocks available for purchase at ‘mate’s rates’.
