Our shed was built in the late 1950s but has been decked out with the latest refinements and equipment. We have a very comfortable clubroom with modern kitchen facilities. Our members are very active and proactive and our shed supports that with fully equipped metal and wood working spaces for members to work on their own projects or shed projects. Members often take part in furniture restoration and tractor repairs.
We sponsor such groups as Roshana Aged Care and ACTIV on a regular basis. We regularly host country medical students and the local church groups on the first Sunday of each month (morning tea and savouries).
We specialise in making hat and coat racks, cutting and chopping boards, planter boxes, lazy susans and grazing boards but we can make almost anything on request.

Our shed currently has around 170 members plus another 30 lady associate members, so in total around 200. These include a number of disabled members whom we encourage to join but we insist on those people having carers where applicable. For some time now we have also encouraged lady associate members who do not meet with the men but usually meet of an afternoon after the men have left, and do their own thing such as sewing, making toys etc. The ladies cannot vote or be on the committee and therefor pay a reduced annual membership fee. They are then covered by our insurance for accidents etc, and are free to use the tools in the shed once they have been tested as capable to do so (same as for the men).
Our shed makes toys for sale at local markets and we also have a large BBQ trailer which we can take to local venues, in particular our local Bunnings store. We also collect cans and bottles for recycling.
We provide members with diverse activities which includes wood work, metal work, wooden toy making, gardening, some furniture restoration (this needs to be approved by us first). We are prepared to look at any projects that we have the capability to make. In the past this has included possum boxes, kennels for the Police and a number of other items for both clubs and schools in the area.

Our shed has been operating since 2010 and has grown over time in membership numbers, shed size and the range of activities undertaken. Wood work has been the main shed activity but our metal work shed and equipment is now well established and equipped. A CNC router and Laser engraver are now operational and a training program established to help more members learn and use the equipment and technology.
Our annual fees are $100 ($50 social membership) that covers insurance, use of all equipment, BBQs and contribution towards the annual Christmas lunch.
The shed takes on numerous paid projects during the year to help cover ongoing operating costs. Projects have included nesting bird boxes for Melville Council Environmental Centre, metal seats and benches for a local tennis club, delivery boxes for fruit and vegetable home deliveries and wooden graduation crosses for Notre Dame University. Numerous repair jobs are also undertaken for community members. The willingness of members to use their skills and time to help build shed extensions has also helped greatly reduce the costs of shed developments. Shed members have a range of life and work skills that they share willingly with fellow Bicton shed members and with the wider WA men’s shed movement.
Health and community organisations occasionally visit our shed to conduct talks and inform members about their services.
Bicton Men’s Shed’s established priorities are physical safety, mental and physical health, fellowship, enjoyment, skill development and making things – in that order.
