Just some of the activities we do at our Shed from building picnic tables and chairs, stand alone tables and benches. In addition we built a Chocolate Wheel for Katoomba Hospital and raised funds for a brand new Fisher & Paykel paediatric breathing machine for the children’s ward and a new sign for the Critical Care Unit. We also do Laser cutting and engraving plus many more activities. If not interested then just come along enjoy a cuppa and chat with likeminded men.

In Memory of Geoff Skate

Geoff Skate was one of our founding members way back in 2019 when we first set up our shed. Being our oldest member at the time Geoff set about putting his mark on our shed. His enthusiasm was infectious and his work ethic was outstanding. He designed and built many picnic tables and benches, cutting boards etc. His knowledge of woodworking was immense and his energetic disposition left many wondering how he managed to stay so fit and full of life.

Sadly Geoff passed away on 20th March 2025 after a long and painful battle with mesothelioma, a dreadful condition picked up whilst Geoff worked at a reclamation yard handling old style Super Six asbestos sheets.

Geoff will be sorely missed at our shed and we will miss his stories, songs and poems of which he knew many from start to finish, On his last visit to our shed Geoff paid his annual membership and he and his wife, Margaret donated a magnificent $1,000 to help of new building. In honour we have created The Geoff Skate Award, which will be given to any member whose contribution to our shed is recognised by our membership. Rest in Peace Geoff.
