DANGER, WILL ROBINSON! DANGER! COVID-FREE ARTICLE!*

What a month for your Men’s Shed. Members back into it, fulfilling commissions, building veggie gardens, installing a new workshop container, welcoming back our blokes, more happy customers and interesting projects. And new jokes.

Twelve of our men are now Full Bottle on First Aid & CPR, and it was great to have four community members on our course.

Pauline Millott was thrilled to receive her Bunya Pine side table, made from a reimagined wrought iron frame and a log rescued from landfill. We were also honoured to create Firey Donation Helmets for Darkes Forest RFS and complete a Pond Yacht restoration on a little boat made in the 1960s by a Pentridge Prison inmate for his warden’s four-year old son, now one of our members.
