Many retired men have had to downsize their living arrangements, often resulting in the loss of personal space, usually the garden shed or workshop. So, the idea of a Community Shed was born. Here, men can come, work with a fantastic variety of tools and spend time with other men with similar interests.
The North Sydney Men’s Shed has been set up to provide a substitute space for “shedless blokes", but it encourages new social activity and some friendships along the way - the shed provides a link to local activities.
Never used power tools? No problem: skilled members will show you how. So, whether you are an expert timber craftsman or a complete novice you will be welcome!
The North Sydney Men’s Shed is a place for
- retired men to be social and pursue hobbies, pastimes and interests
- the learning of new skills and the honing of old ones
- using wood-working machinery and hand tools
- being part of a community.
