Where men become blokes!

You can work on your hobbies, because you no longer have space at home.

Facilities:

                       Woodwork Shed:

We have a large woodwork shed that includes many of the machines found
in today’s modern workshops.

It is a workshop safety rule that there must be two people at least present
when any power tools are in use.

There is a large stockroom of small hand held tools, along with an assortment
of screws and nails for your use.

Equipment list: Table saw, Spindle bobbin sander, Table router plus hand held
plunge routers x 2, Composite drop saw x 2, Large table saw, Wood lathe x 3,
Thicknesser/Planer/Jointer, Bandsaw x 2.

With the photo fraternity moving on and the old stables demolished
to make way for the new adventure playground, the vacated half of
the Rivershed has been turned into a new garage and work area for
the Men's shed. Below a couple of the chaps utilizing the space.

  Metalwork Shed:

Not only do we have a woodwork shop, but we also have a small metalwork shop as well.

There are qualified trades people to assist you with the correct, safe usage of the machinery.
They will also assist you with your special project if help is required.

Naturally, we need to be with you initially to make sure that you can handle the equipment
and that you are safe. In that regard, there must be two people in the shed at any time
machinery or welding equipment is being used.

These are some of the machines available: Metal Lathe with a full range of accessories,
Milling machine and vertical drill, Bench drills, Bench grinders & Hand Held Angle Grinders,
MIG, TIG, ARC, & Oxy Acetylene Welders, Plasma Cutter and Air Compressors.
