About our shed
About Us
Giving back to the community is an important part of the Guild, supporting both ARC Disabilities and Cootharinga North Queensland on a weekly basis by providing the organisations clients a place of opportunity where they can design and build their own woodwork projects. The Guild provides the materials, and more importantly members deliver instruction and assistance to bring the project concept to reality. Each individual is generally very happy and express joy and satisfaction with their achievement.
We are committed to developing a skill base for all, especially our younger members. This is where the future of woodworking lies, and anyone interested in continuing the woodworking traditions have the tools, equipment, expertise and support they require to thrive.
The work continues to upgrading the building and equipment ensuring that the Guild provides a building and equipment are safe, up to date and inviting.

Positive impacts
The Australian Men’s Shed Association (AMSA) is the national service provider supporting more than 1,200 Men’s, Women’s and Community Sheds and is recognised as one of Australia’s largest male-based community development organisations.
AMSA was established in 2007 by a collection of Australian independent community-based Men’s Sheds to represent, support and promote the Men’s Shed movement. It was founded on the principle of sharing information between sheds and those communities wishing to establish and operate a Men’s Shed. It acts as a central hub for information exchange.
