00:00 The shed's operated down here now for about two years, and over that time we've been able
00:05 to develop the shed, set it up, and we have what we think is as good a shed as anywhere
00:10 in the state.
00:12 Our shed's about providing a location for any men that want to come along to participate
00:20 in very little or a lot.
00:23 They can just come for a cup of coffee or sit down and have a chat, or they can work
00:28 out in the shed.
00:31 The Cutty Sark was a clipper that used to cut wool from South Australia back to the
00:37 UK.
00:38 It's been restored in England and it's in a dry dock there, and I'm just doing a scale
00:42 model of it.
00:46 What we're making here is a model of a huon pine punt.
00:52 It's an 18 foot 6 punt, and it's been made of huon pine.
00:58 When we get to the end of the project, we've made quite a number of models already, all
01:04 out of huon pine, and this is just a different exercise.
01:10 Great to come down to the men's shed.
01:14 They're all very helpful, sometimes.
01:16 They are.
