We have had a few interesting things happening in the last few weeks.
The Devonport Mens Shed Ladies had an enjoyable and satifying day in Burnie on Daffodil Day - see some pictures of their stall below.
Some Shed members manned a stall at the recent 'Expo of Everything' event in the Devonport Paranaple Centre. Our members gave good example and description of what happens in a Mens Shed.
Also pictured below are a few of our members hard at work
refurbishing furniture
making 'books'
creating many and varied laminated products
some inlays created via laser
Also we just had our AGM:
The executive members have remained the same as last year and were given a vote of confidence once again.
And we welcome ongoing achievement from our ordinary committee members and new views and ideas from one new member.
One thing that became clear at the AGM was, that we are having a good time!

Another good month has rolled by.
Fortunately we have been successful in our bid for grant money, and are in the process of using this money to good effect. We are putting solar cells on our main shed, so this will also help us reduce our main electricity costs.
Additionally we are looking to build a new shed to help increase space for our machinery, and to better allow us to design and place our dust extraction systems.
We were recently honoured to receive a visit from Premier Jeremy Rockliff. We gave Jeremy a tour of our facilities and demonstrated what we do in them to achieve a good deal of self-satisfaction, but also good help for our community. Luckily for Jeremy and his staff, they came on our monthly barbecue day, so we culinary skills as well.
Additionallty our Wednesday Ladies have been producing many and varied items; they are producing many beautiful pieces using some quite creative techniques.
A series of Plovers have taken over parts of our garden areas. Why do they just build a nest anywhere?

It has been a great start to winter at the shed. Members have not been put off by the cold, sometimes wet & rainy weather. Below there are a few pictures of our boys at work and play.
Also some great products made by our ladies who almost make their wednesday a party day!
There is a picture below that shows how much we enjoy our periodic committee meetings.
Roger, our president, also mentions that we have not only enjoyed our last month, but we have been quite productive as well.

The Devonport Mens Shed has enjoyed another fruitful month and is now warming up for the grey days of winter. There are a few pictures below of our members at work and play.
To remember our members who have passed on, we have decided to create a "board" listing these men in order. See picture below.
Unfortunately, we are not provided with a recycle bin since we are not a purely residential address. So we have to make do with other, often unsuitable, means. But we do nicely cater for handling bottles and cans; see picture of our 44 gallon drums whose contents we regularly take to our recycle centre.
Also check out the laser creation pictures below; these items have been manufactured by Kev and our other Laser Engraver experts. We looking to sell these for about $25. Also we are happy to look at making any design that our folk in our community might desire.

Another interesting week at the Shed!
Sometimes it's hard to find the right bit of timber, but plenty of advisors available!?
Our Treasurer showing us how to count our money.
Also great work is being done by our expert Laser Engraver chappies.
Great example shown by Kev of a Kangaroo speeding along; simply a few nice timbers embedded in an old fence paling!
Also we had a significant donation of various paints by Cabots. Thanks heaps to them!

The Good Ole Boys of the Devonport Mens Shed have had a busy and rewarding month. So for the last thursday of each month we reward ourselves with a barbeque and the odd beer.
Thanks to members Graeme Sargeant & Ben Pocious for preparing this months feast.
