Come and see for yourself
Our Men’s Shed is located at 42M William Street Birkdale 4159 Queensland and develops a safe and happy environment where men are welcome to work a project of their choice in their own time and where the only ‘must’ is to observe safe working practices. Sometimes wives or daughters refer men to the Men’s Sheds.
We are open Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 8:00am to 12:00pm. If you would like to visit and have a tour please wear covered footwear.
We provide a safe and secure facility, where men can exchange ideas, discuss any issues, engage in manual or social activities, and pass on life long knowledge and work skills to others. Giving assistance to other community groups and organizations in their efforts for improvement is a priority.

We do jobs for the Redlands Community Centre, like rebuilding their front counter. We installed cupboards for CWA, repaired chairs for the Lions, and built fete furniture for schools. We raise funds through barbecues at retail outlets and sales of surplus tools so we can even make cash donations to community bodies. We have a wide range of skills; die casting, welding, carpentry, mechanics, there’s a teacher, a baker, a bloke who’s a born inventor and a retired farmer who can do anything that’s needed to maintain a farm. Even making fine furniture. We’d like to draw in more skills like that and offer more opportunities for teaching and learning, as a lot of this knowledge is going to disappear in time.
What we do is not limited by the below list but it will give you an idea:
- Repair and build all types of metal work
- Repair and build all types of wood work, including making toys
- Special projects
- Firewood for sale
- Bunnings sausage sizzle multiple times a month
- Sit and chat, we are always up for one of those
