About our shed
About Us
The Manning-Great Lakes Woodworkers Inc. is a club promoting the practice of woodworking and associated wood crafts in a friendly and informative way. We enjoy fellowship among members by holding regular workshop sessions, demonstrations, seminars, visits to other clubs and outings. Membership is open to anyone interested in woodworking, both male and female, young and not so young, and regardless of experience.
Our premises on the banks of the Manning river consist of three buildings, a workshop, a kitchen/meeting room, and The Bridge Gallery.
Our members perform turning, scroll sawing, pyrography, box making, and many other aspects of woodworking, using the comprehensive range of equipment available in the workshop.
The kitchen/meeting area has a well-stocked library plus a good kitchen with coffee and tea available.
The Bridge Gallery is in the third building and is our latest venture. It has a display of the many items made by our members with the majority available for sale. The Bridge Gallery is open to the public every Saturday.

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.
