And Become A Shedder!
Hi, My name is Mike.
2020 hasn’t been good to me, lost my wife in January followed by the Corona virus. So being left on my own I wondered how to move on when I remembered reading an article about Mens Sheds. I decided I was going to remain positive. I wanted to giving something back to the community and try to help others in the same situation whilst gaining some good company. I searched Mens Sheds on the interweb and found there was nothing local so I thought lets start one even though it’s the middle of a pandemic.
But then again you don’t get to choose when bad things happen to you!
The Shed has around 18 members. The Shed has premises comprising of two large sheds and two greenhouses available along with 5 large raised beds and would welcome help and advice on progressing the project further. The Shed is open to anyone and any project suggestions like gardening, woodwork, metalwork, 3D printing, push bike & other refurbishments. Come on, what’s your passion?
If you feel lonely or have any ideas then please take that first step and give me a call on

Everybody prints just about … But 3D printing is a long way from printing your electric or gas bill. It all started with a grant from Bro Myrddin Housing Association which enabled us to buy a Prusa 3D printer kit which the members managed to put together even though it took a little longer than the quoted 8 hours assembly time. On the plus side it all worked first time. Then there’s the software, A cad package to design stuff and Prusa’s own Prusa Slicer software to print stuff - Its a really steep learning curve.
We designed a new plastic part for a metal grinder to repair it for the local community.
There will be a demo of the printer in Llangadog Centre on the dates in the advert - See below

If you are interested in becoming a shedder but you are struggling for transport to get to our weekly meetings then please ask for a lift share. I am sure that one of our existing members will be able to offer you a lift which also saves on car emissions keeping the planet greener - Please ask?

“Do You Feel You Have Lost Your Purpose In Life Become A Shedder!”
The Shed is a larger community-scale version of the typical man’s shed in the garden. It is a place for making and mending, a place where the person feels comfortable enough to pursue practical interests with like-minded people. A place that is safe and friendly, where skills can be shared. The aim of this Llangadog, Llandeilo & Llandovery Mens Shed is to provide a place where people from the community can come together to work on projects and be in good company.
Llangadog, Llandeilo & Llandovery Men’s Shed regards the Welsh and English languages with equal importance and believes that all who make contact with us have the right to do so in Welsh or English, whichever is their chosen language. Visitors or callers to Llangadog, Llandeilo & Llandovery Men’s Shed will be greeted in their preferred language whenever possible.
