Men in Sheds
Our members in the MiS make an amazing range of wooden items including bug and bat boxes, and carriers for beer. And recently we've also started making resin items. Come and get involved in working with wood and resin while making new friends.
PS You don't have to be a man to join!
Men in sheds is an idea that originated in Australia and is known to provide mental health benefits for older men and women who often feel isolated and lonely. Our shed provides a meeting place, with tools and resources for our members to work on projects at their own pace and in a friendly and inclusive venue. Our shed is also a place of skill-sharing and informal learning, of individual pursuits and community projects, of purpose, achievement and social interaction.
We make a big selection of products, and new ideas are always popping up. You can see the wide range of items that we make. Also we make items commissioned by customers, or mend items that need a bit of TLC.
Here are just some of the things we make using wood ...
Trugs
Grinders
Storage boxes
Bowls
We also make resin items ...
Keyrings and jewellery
Phone stands
And we carry out commissions. Here are some examples ...
The Men in Sheds were commissioned to make two fairground games for a gentleman who wants to raise money for the RNLI and Ukraine at local events.
Another recent commission is this cosy Hedgehog Box.
So why not challenge us to make something bespoke for you.
