This excellent display cabinet is the most recent found object to come to the shed. It needs a bit of tender care but will be an excellent addition to the range of projects undertaken at the shed.


Theres a bit of leadlight repair required for one broken panel. The cabinet was in the shed less than a morning and already stripped back for a renovation!!!


Thanks for the find Bob !!

pedal power



Flushed with the success of the "aubergine all- terraine shopping trolley" Andrew was today restoring the pedals on another wheeled vehicle.


After some threading and adjustments to the pedals he was ready to try it out ... but only within the confines of the Centre. ...and carefully monitored by the other pedal power shedder Peter.


Excellent recycling effort Andrew!!!

utility cupboard


Well Andrew has the last laugh...






we all thought he was building a coffin stretched out between the sawhorses in the centre of the shed.






Purpose built ...
designed for the space ..
highly functional .....
Here a few photos of the end result fitted in place...





......an outdoor utility cupboard. ...

elvis hair


Fred was mucking about with the guys today showing off the Elvis hair for the party tonight.
Fred likes a bit of a joke with the men at The Entrance Men's Shed but is all business when it comes to getting his projects completed. ... with toolbox... box kite and many other projects under his belt .. hes become a real tradesman down at the shed.

hanging about

Andrew has made another project at the shed ... this is a clothes line that can be raised and lowered. Easy access for hanging and the ability to raise it out of the way and keep the area clear.

Great space saving idea!!

trolley cupboard


Chris spent the afternoon helping Fred remodel these shelves into a trolley cupboard.
The Chaps from the Samaritans have taken to wearing aprons to protect their clothing now that they are deeply involved in progressing their projects: gluing, sanding and painting.
Looking very professional now!!

Friday afternoon at the shed


Peter & Mark thoroughly enjoy their afternoons at
The Entrance Men's Shed.
They have produced many a box, kite, toolbox, pencil box, photo, wine rack and CD holder.
