25.01.2022 Wow hard to believe 2 years have gone by and we are looking for clamps.

23.01.2022 The bees have been productive while we were locked out. Honey soon.

23.01.2022 First day back lunchtime. It’s good to be back and have a yarn.

23.01.2022 Another product off the Men's Shed production line with final inspection by Milo who is working from home

23.01.2022 Can’t wait to see more paintings when we return.

22.01.2022 Nice pattern on small cheese board

22.01.2022 Before and after. We are creative.

21.01.2022 Unfortunately the Men's Shed will be closed for the rest of this week and next week 25-29 January. Sorry for any inconvenience. Ossie

21.01.2022 The bees are still making honey at the shed. Just havent had as much attention as last year.

21.01.2022 David ODempsey has been keeping himself busy doing this isolated period. Have you got a story to tell and photos? In box for email. This is an extract with progress photos from David. Thanks DOD. A couple of years ago I downloaded John Tennocks (QLD WBA) plans for his stitch and glue nesting dinghy Curlew. I started cutting out templates of the planks and other bits at the local Mens Shed I attend once a week, and within a short time the project aroused the enthusiasm ...of 3 of the men, who each declared their intention of building the same boat (hence the templates, to assist in mass production.). Things sort of slowed down over the next year, and the others appeared to lose enthusiasm (I told them they could expect to lay out $800-$1000 each), and although I had organised all the stuff I required, my templates sat there gathering dust . until the Covid 19 restrictions hit us, and like many other club members I got down to serious work (I hear that Andrew Yen is starting off again too. Our Postie was telling Margaret about a neighbour starting a boat, and she was concerned he may need some help. Margaret felt that Andrew would cope ok.).

20.01.2022 Gerard enjoyed @jimmyvette69 corvette

17.01.2022 This was a project started at the shed when we returned from lockdown 1. Ron wanted to finish it so he took it home and worked alone to finish it. Apart from the shed having resources he misses the social interaction. The shed is closed again. We will be resuming virtual room from 27th July so we can all catch up at least socially.
