Men's Sheds
The philosophy is simple – the shed offers a place to chat and make some good mates while keeping busy and helping others along the way. Each man is both a teacher and a learner. Members are encouraged to spend 1/3 of their time on charity and community projects, 1/3 maintaining the shed and 1/3 on their own projects.
At Dural we have wood and metal-work sections, a garden and plenty of room for morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and a few breaks in between. Our membership of around 130 have a wide range of skills and experience to be shared with all – come and join us and add your knowledge to the pot – and have a laugh along the way!
Activities include Woodwork including woodturning, metalwork, car restoration, welding, gardening, pyrography,3D printing/design work.
