The Armidale Men's Shed is a community-based, non-profit organization dedicated to improving the health and well-being of its members by providing a welcoming and productive environment.
The Armidale Men's Shed has a reputation for repairing difficult-to-repair items. We help people build items they want for their homes, while also helping members develop confidence in their own abilities and in helping others through participation in shed activities.
We repair and make woodwork items, train members and promote men's health issues in the community.
We are located in what was previously a timber joinery business…
….with a stock of speciality timbers…
….and some pretty awesome machinery.
We make and repair furniture and other wooden items.
We teach joinery and woodworking skills.
We make speciality mouldings.
We have highly skilled woodturners for repairs and unique projects…
….and artisans who specialise in bespoke, one-off pieces.
We hold a weekly Women’s Woodworking Group on Tuesday afternoons, where our members volunteer their time and expertise to support and assist each other.
