Where older men with experience in life and expertise in various skills come to pursue their hobbies and talk with mates about anything and everything. Many of these older men have the opportunity to become mentors to younger men who, through no fault of their own, have grown up in a home without a stable male role model.
Kevin Doherty is not only busy with the repair and restoration of random mowers, he has also been driving down to Lewisham to fetch back the makings of "bicycle wheelchairs". Bob & Kevin returned with three boxes of assorted wheels that will be sorted and welded to brackets for fitting to the platforms at the front of wheelchairs.
This project not only recycles for the environment, it also provides cost effective equipment where it is needed most, by those most in need. It might be a "piecework" project but the overall outcome is sure worth the participation of the men from Kincumber Men's Shed.
Currently, woodworking with all types of machines to make toys, turned timber to make bowls etc, to repair chairs and tables,and any other project you wish to do with timber +some metalwork
