Cameron and Edde and camper customisations
Cameron and Edde have been fitting out their Mitsubishi Express van for extensive travel in Australia. This has been big project involving lining the inside of the van and constructing internal furniture together with the electrical work required for their solar powered electrical system. They have departed for a three month trip. It has been great having them at the Shed.

Vincent Men’s Shed assisted the Western Australian Fibre and Textile Association in preparation for their “Altered States” competition display in the Perth Town Hall. The Shed cut threaded steel rods and MDF sheets to size for the display tables. Another interesting job.

Cunderdin visitors
Nine members of the Cunderdin Men’s Shed drove all the way down to visit our shed as part of their ‘social excursion’ activities. A cuppa, lots of chat, a tour of our shed, showing the kinds of things we’re doing, culminating in a warm invitation for Vincent Men’s Shed to visit Cunderdin Men’s Shed anytime.
