Woodworking Morning Sessions

Woodworking Sessions

These weekly morning sessions focus on hands-on woodworking and metalwork projects in a relaxed setting. Participants turn up ready to use the tools and benches for their own ideas or to join group tasks like building garden beds and picnic tables. The format suits both experienced makers and those learning new skills, with support available from others in the group. Sessions run every Wednesday and Saturday morning, giving a steady rhythm for regular attendance without any membership requirement.

MenzShed Westport hosts the gatherings, providing the space and equipment for practical work. Attendees often bring their own projects or contribute to community efforts such as flood recovery items. The atmosphere encourages steady progress on pieces while sharing tips on techniques and safety.
