Repair & Build Service

Projects commissioned by locals as fundraisers for the Shed

Members of the Mangawhai Shed have a depth of industrial and commercial skills.
They relish the challenge of tackling old and new problems so if you need support fixing or repairing old treasures, please get in touch.
Our ‘Repair & Build Service’ is available to you and is a valuable means of raising funds.

Personal projects

Projects completed for the pure joy of it

We encourage our members to learn new craft skills and share old ones with others.
It’s not a teaching environment per se, but there is a lot to be learnt by rubbing shoulders with the right people.

Come visit some day.
