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.

Outboard Motor reconditioned back to A1
Kevin D, the KMS Sheds resident 'motor mower and bush cutter' repairer, found this old Sea Gull out board about 7 years ago on a Clean up Night as he was traveling down to the city one evening. 'Well' he said 'that looks alright' so, into the boot with much push and shove and then unloaded into his garage where it laid until he was told to clean up that garage of yours. He brought it to the SHED and on cleaning it up he found that it was a 1967 model and with a little TLC and an oil mixture of about 1/2 pint of oil to 1 gal of petrol. Would you believe it started 1st pull, it will be back home now with pride of place in the garage, great work Kevin.
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
