About our shed
About Us
The Violet Town Men’s Shed is open three mornings a week where wood working and other skills and expertise are put to good use.
The Men's Shed provides a great place for those who want somewhere to go and meet with like-minded people and do something useful at the same time. Morning tea is at 10.00 am. Men of all ages are welcome, just drop in or give the coordinator a call.
The shed has acquired woodworking tools and equipment paid from grants and donations that allows jobs or projects to be completed. A continuing source of income is the manufacture of possum and bird nesting boxes that are in great demand.
A corner of the Men's Shed provides an opportunity for visitors to relax, or just sit down for a chat.
Shed Activities
Furniture restoration, nesting boxes, general woodworking and metal working.Work for community and participate in physical and mental health programs and monthly Mens Mob outings.

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.
