Help the Shed keep making a difference
Mount Gravatt Men’s Shed Inc. is a not-for-profit community association and a registered charity. Like most not-for-profits, we rely on support to provide the facilities and opportunities our members enjoy.
Donate tools
All working hand and power tools are gratefully accepted.
Donate materials
Wood, steel, aluminium, nuts, bolts, screws and more go straight into workshop projects.
Donate money
Cash donations are always welcome — and donations to the Shed are tax deductible.
Tools & equipment we can use
- Beginner workshop activities need hand tools — saws, planes, chisels, hammers.
- Intermediate activities need machinery — electric drills, grinders, routers, sanders, jig saws, scroll saws, drop saws, track saws, bench grinders, linishers, planers/thicknessers.
- Metalworking tools — pliers, snips, punches.
- Wood turning tools — gouges, scrapers.
Materials & supplies
We’re always looking for steel (rod, flat, RHS square, round), wood (softwoods, ply sheets, studs), aluminium, acrylic sheets, general hardware fittings, spray paint, timber stains, sandpaper, nuts, bolts, screws, rivets and 12V electrical components.
What happens to donated tools
If we can use a tool or piece of equipment, it’s put to work in our Shed. If it’s excess to our needs, we usually refurbish it, then either sell it to raise funds for the Shed or pass it on to smaller sheds.
