Shed and facilities
The Picton Men’s Community Shed was established in 2009 and has 35 members. The group operates from a shed with a floor area of 150 square metres, and is well provisioned with hand tools, power tools, woodworking machinery, a metal-turning lathe and welding gear.
Members work on a wide and varied range of activities, some of which include classic boat restoration, knife and tool sharpening, furniture making and repairs, off-site community tasks, propagating plants and gardening and, of course, their own private projects, too.
There is a strong emphasis on men’s health and well-being.
