The Kingaroy Men’s Shed held an open day and garage sale at their shed near Kingaroy Airport on Saturday morning.

The men had plenty of their hand-made items for sale – including chairs, benches and tables – as well as many donated items.

All the profits from the day will be ploughed back into Men’s Shed activities.

The volunteers are being kept busy at the moment making items for this year’s Kingaroy BaconFest event.

One of the most unusual items on sale that was quickly snapped up was a tank drum made by Men’s Shed member Don Dahms.

The drum – which sounded more like a xylophone – was made from two gas bottles welded together.

The Open Day culminated with a “thank you” lunch for all the volunteers who recently helped at the LifeFlight fundraising “Dinner Under The Stars”.
