Carry Pine,
I read that thread before I started this one and I recall your contributions.
I agree with you that 1 day a week is insufficient and that it ought not be exclusive. An employed coordinator is essential to keep it running smoothly.
Thats really why the women's community houses are successful.
I also looked at many different sheds, there really are many shed recipes.
I am still evaluating and forming opinions but my current thinking is that a primary focus may be for older men, but as its a Mens Shed and not just an Old Codgers Shed it should have a secondary focus of involving other people.
The social and other interactions between Old and Young can bring worthwhile advantages to all those involved.

One of the great benefits of mens sheds is the way older and younger, abled and disabled, can gather experience of each other and share stuff. and we get to use gear that we might not be able to otherwise afford. there is just so much benefit to them. Especially the old feller and the young bloke (good if neither have "grands" around). I wonder if anyone will write or ghost write tales about the Mens Sheds, vol 1 ...It was back in 1842 when i first met the young bloke. Well, he seemed keen enough. Took well to cleaning up which is more than many would. Seemed to enjoy sharpening tools, though he has a way to go learning how to do that. But it is the pleasure with which he approaches what he does that sets me to smiling... ...I tell you what, though, it's grand to be able to pass on our skills to the next generation and to share them with blokes of our own generation. I always knew we had value...

Hey MOF
does the hammer in your name relate to the tool or something more sinister?
HH.Always look on the bright side...
