Meet Colin—one of the creative minds (and resin masters!) at our Men’s Shed.
If you ask Colin what the biggest attraction of the Shed is, he won’t talk about his own talent first. He’ll tell you about the people.

"I love just talking to all the guys... finding out what they’ve done over the years and the stories they tell. We sit around—I’ve done nothing compared to some of these guys who have been to the wars—they're all characters, and that's why I enjoy it."

Despite his humble take, Colin brings something really special to our workshop floor. As you can see in the photos, while many blokes stick to classic timber work like his stitched-edge serving tray with brass handles (holding it on the left!), Colin also specializes in striking poured-resin art (check out that bold purple resin piece on the right!).

From vibrant resin accents to beautifully carved timber slabs, he's always experimenting with new textures and colors at his workbench.

Whether it’s sharing a cuppa, swapping life stories, or teaching someone how to pour resin, Colin is a big part of what makes our Shed feel like home.

Built with care at the Joondalup Men's Shed! 🪵✨

When local support worker Becky got in touch asking for a sturdy, practical fidget board featuring everyday hardware, David and the Shed crew got right to work. From latches and light switches to spinning reels and casters, every item was carefully mounted for safe, tactile engagement. ⚙️💡

A huge shout-out to David for his hard work and attention to detail on this meaningful project!

"From little things, big things grow..." 🌱✨

Five years ago on September 22, 2021, our founder Maggie Horsburgh opened her home in Ocean Reef to local women seeking connection and community. What started as coffee mornings, movie nights, and Bunnings community workshops has blossomed into something truly extraordinary!

Just look at these snapshots of Shed life in the photos below! 📸

Today, as the Joondalup Women's Shed, we are proud to have a thriving group of 31 active members with access to a full wood workshop, metal workshop, and shared craft area.

We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Maggie Tanner, and our patron Emily Hamilton MLA for making this vision a reality, as well as the Men’s Shed committee for their ongoing support! 🛠️❤️

Help us celebrate 5 wonderful years! Drop a message below to wish Maggie and the team a Happy 5th Birthday or let us know which workshop project caught your eye! 👇

There’s something truly special about a handmade gift that carries a story. 🪵✨

Today, the Joondalup Men's Shed team set up shop at the Kingsway Community Markets with a display packed full of handcrafted wooden toys, home goods, and unique creations made right in our shed.

A huge shout-out to our new Markets Manager, Dave (you can’t miss him in the bright yellow shirt in the photos!), along with his fantastic crew of off-siders—Merv, Tom, and the two Mikes—for running the stall and connecting with everyone who stopped by! 👏

From wooden pull-along animals to intricate board games and sturdy outdoor furniture, the talent on display was second to none. One of the biggest hits of the day? Merv’s custom wooden spinning tops! At just $20 each, they’re timeless treasures that bring instant smiles to kids (and grandkids!) of all ages. 🌀

Thank you to everyone in the local community who dropped by to chat, support our shed, and take home a piece of local craftsmanship.

👉 Missed us today? Drop by the Joondalup Men's Shed during open hours (weekday 8.30am to 1:00pm) or drop a comment below to ask about our upcoming market dates and custom wooden orders!

Looking for a completely unique, locally handmade gift—or maybe a nostalgic trip down memory lane? 🪵✨

Check out our mate Merv absolutely mastering the wood lathe in our workshop! Merv has been hard at work turning out these beautiful, old-school string-pull spinning tops, and we are incredibly excited to announce that a limited run of these are now available for purchase directly from the Shed!

Available for just $20 each, every single spinning top is entirely unique. Merv has selected and turned a variety of different timbers to highlight the stunning natural contrasts in the wood grains. They are perfectly balanced, beautifully finished, and designed to spin just like the classic traditional toys many of us grew up with.

All proceeds go right back into supporting the Joondalup Men's Shed, helping us keep our workshop running and our doors open for local blokes to connect, create, and share a yarn.

📍 How to Buy (In-Person Collection Only): Drop a comment below or send us a DM to reserve yours for pickup at the Shed before they spin out the door! 🛍️👇

Craftsmanship, Precision & Tech in the Shed:

There is nothing quite like the feeling of watching a high-tech tool bring a creative idea to life! Steve has been a valued member of the Joondalup Men's Shed since 2012, and over the years he’s become one of our resident CNC experts, mastering the craft of digital design and laser engraving to produce some truly brilliant custom signage. His latest batch of wooden signs—from clever plaques to beautiful illustrative work like his cartoon zebra—shows just how much talent, experience, and attention to detail our members bring to the table.

Over his years with us, Steve has spent countless hours perfecting his setups on the laser, fine-tuning the power and speed parameters to get those lines looking razor-sharp every single time. Whether he's etching signs for our Tool Museum, prep work for the upcoming Wanneroo Show, or fun custom plaques, his precision is absolutely top-tier. It's a fantastic example of how we successfully combine traditional timber skills with modern digital technology here at the Shed.

Of course, keeping things safe is always priority number one. Steve is fully kitted out in his safety goggles and hearing protection, showing us all the gold standard for workshop practice.

Have you ever tried your hand at combining digital design with traditional woodworking? Let us know what projects you're working on in the comments below! 👇

It takes a village (and a very talented Shed)! 🛠️✨

We recently had the pleasure of delivering custom-built chalkboards to the students at Spring Hill Primary School in Tapping. While the students are busy creating their latest masterpieces, we wanted to highlight the team that made it all happen.

First up is Dennis (pictured in the yellow shirt), the craftsman responsible for building these sturdy boards. You might recognize his handiwork elsewhere—he’s also the talent behind our popular mud kitchens! He’s pictured here with his workshop mate Alan, because as every Shedder knows, the best projects are the ones built with a bit of good company. Once the sawdust settled, our delivery team took over: a big thanks to Graham, Bill, Dave, Colin, and Graham for getting these safely to the school.

The feedback from Carol at Spring Hill has been heart-warming; the kids haven't stopped drawing since the boards arrived. At the Joondalup Men's Shed, we love seeing a project go from a sketch in the workshop to a hub of creativity in the playground. Well done to everyone involved!

Our local Kindy artists are already hard at work! If you had a giant chalkboard like this, what would you draw first? Let us know in the comments! 🖍️✨

"How do you want to feel on your 100th birthday?" 🎂

We had a cracker of a session at the Joondalup Men’s Shed yesterday with David Beard. David shared his journey from a young physiotherapist to a health advocate, reminding us that while we can’t stop the clock, we absolutely have a say in how we age.

The room was buzzing during David's "100th Birthday Challenge." He asked us what we still want to be able to do when we hit triple digits. The answers from our Shedders ranged from "just keep breathing" to "remaining mobile enough to keep working in the shed!" It wasn't just about the physical stuff, though; David’s biggest takeaway was about Attitude. He challenged us to find three good things that happened each day—a simple habit that can actually lower blood pressure and improve mental health.

Ready to get moving? David isn't finished with us yet! He’ll be back next week running his specialized "Make a Move" sessions to help us put these ideas into practice.

👉 Check out the full details and session times here: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17XqF9MrBi/

It’s not every day you get a reminder that "old" is just a moving target—usually 10 years older than wherever you are right now! A huge thanks to David for the laughs, the wisdom, and the reminder to keep up with those "wall push-ups."

David challenged us to think about our 100th birthday. If you hit the 100-mark, what is the ONE thing you still want to be able to do? Tell us in the comments...

What do you get when you mix a few discarded pallets and a bit of Men’s Shed ingenuity? You get this fantastic, heavy-duty mud kitchen ready for the Lake Joondalup Baptist College!

Gerry (pictured on the right), along with Dennis and Dave (the camera-shy expert behind the scenes), have been transforming raw materials into treasures. They’ve taken heat-treated pallets—safe and sturdy for school environments—and upcycled them into a premium outdoor play station. With its custom-fitted plywood benchtop and genuine stainless steel double sink, this isn't just a toy; it's a piece of shed-standard furniture built to withstand decades of mud pies and schoolyard fun.

Projects like these are the heartbeat of the Joondalup Men's Shed. We love being able to use our skills to give back to the next generation of little legends.

We reckon the kids are going to have a blast with this! Do you know a local school or playgroup that could use some JMS magic in their playground? Tag them in the comments below! 👇
