Hi guys I am wondering if any men's shed in Adelaide's northern suburbs do woodworking on the week end as I would like to meet some woodworkers to show how to use hand tools

Hi Michael,

This may be of some assistance:

Doesn't seem to be much in your area unfortunately.

Otherwise: http://www.mensshed.org/Find-A-Shed/.aspx?search=adelaide&distance=25&filter=-1

Whilst many will not be open on the weekend you may be able to find a local contact who will be willing to provide you with some one on one assistance.
The funny thing is that I have a Mens shed "developing" at the end of my street!

Did you contact any of the sheds to see if there was any interest of any of their members to give you some one on one time during the weekend?

Whilst the sheds may all meet during the week, it would tend to indicate that they will then be frequented by retired members, and if they are anything like the other retired woodworkers I have met I am sure that at least one would be interested in passing on their knowledge to you.
