Mr Norman said the group, which has 40 members, also sought a larger facility with more space and parking.
“The ideal situation would be to have a purpose-built place,” he said.
Members create a range of woodwork items that are often donated to community groups and schools, and are also available for purchase.
They are always seeking gifts of equipment, timber and money.
Mr Norman said the shed was about mateship and providing a social activity for retired men.
“We’re an all-round good bunch of guys,” he said.
“We cheer each other up and try to find out if we can help in any way.
“It’s a social thing; it’s worthwhile.”
