A Men’s Shed is a larger version of the typical man’s shed in the garden – a place where he feels at home and pursues practical interests with a high degree of autonomy. A Men’s Shed offers this to a group of such men where members share the tools and resources they need to work on projects of their own choosing at their own pace and in a safe, friendly and inclusive venue. They are places of skill-sharing and informal learning, of individual pursuits and community projects, of purpose, achievement and social interaction. A place of leisure where men come together to work.
A Shed’s activities usually involve making or mending in wood (e.g. carpentry, joinery, turning, carving, whittling, marquetry, furniture renovation) but may include metalworking (milling, sheet metal, welding, etc.) bike repair, gardening, electronics, tool renovation, boat renovation, model engineering (model railways, planes) and even building a car! Reclamation, reuse and restoration will feature strongly – and some say that is true of the men too! Although Sheds mostly attract older men, some have included men of any age, women and young people. Whichever activities are pursued the essence of a Shed is not a building, which some don’t have, but the network of relationships between the members.
It seems like it could lend itself to making and modding pretty well.

Sounds good.
Men in sheds? Next thing, someone will come up with women in kitchens as a concept and then it'll be all over the Daily Mail, politicians will have to resign and there'll be a twitter tag.
But - apart from the PC BS - what a great idea. And ideal for someone who needs some space and tools for their hobby.
Great idea though
I'll probably drop them an email as they said they need someone with IT skills, so I still might be able to help out.
