About our shed
About Us
The Lane Cove Men’s Shed is a not for profit group with a fully equipped workshop where skilled and unskilled men can share time with each other, swap yarns and work together on community projects. Members make and repair furniture, toys, craft items or work on their own personal projects. Many items are donated to community groups whilst some are sold to buy materials and new tools for the Shed.
After 22 years in our present location, the Shed will be moving in early 2021 to a larger site, still in Lane Cove. This move enables us to safely increase the number of members, increase the range of activities and be more flexible in opening times. We are, therefore, recruiting new members and you don’t have to be a skilled craftsman to join. If you don’t have a personal project, there are plenty of useful things to do and training is provided if required.
There is always an open invitation to all men, young and old, to drop in, see what goes on, meet the other men, have a chat and enjoy the friendship the Shed offers.

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.
