WoodworkWoodworking is the skill of making items from wood and includes cabinet making, wood carving, joinery, carpentry and woodturning.
At Sandgate Mens Shed we are very proud of our woodworking space and we offer a full range of tools and machines to complete most projects. |
MetalworkMetalwork is the process of shaping and reshaping metal to create useful objects. As a term it covers a wide and diverse range of processes, skills and tools for producing objects on every scale.
At Sandgate Mens Shed we have a seperate metalwork area, with a range of machines and tools to complete a variety of projects. |
PyrographyThe art of Pyrography has been around for centuires. It is an age old technique where a heated metal pen is used to burn wood and other materials, leaving behind a decorative pattern.
The space we use for Pyrography is in a quieter section of the shed, away from the hustle and bustle of the woodwork and metalwork areas. Members of all abilities can practice Pyrography at Sandgate Mens Shed. |
FundraisingWe participate in a number of fundraising activities which allows us to continue our shed programs.
These include regular Bunnings Sausage Sizzles, attendance at the annual Sandgate Einbunpin Festival and monthly Bracken Ridge Lions Train Days . We also sell products produced by members at the shed and refurbish and repair items bought in by the public. |
