For more than ten years, our Shed has brought together men from Kew and surrounding areas of Boroondara. Most of our members are retirees but we also have some who are still in the workforce but simply enjoy being part of the Shed community. No experience or expertise necessary! You can bring along a project of your own or perhaps help someone else.

Please be aware that you will be responsible for your own activities – we do not run classes of any kind.
