Re: 'Men In Sheds'
Just going to the organising/funding/liability aspect for a moment, that to a large extent is covered/handled by the (in Oz) Australian Men's Shed Association and which in turn is govt funded, so that solves a lot of the problems (there are other associations that perform much the same duties).
To get on to the radio side of things and I will have to go off and find it, one Men's shed has a Radio Club, another has a general electronics club and ours (Tintinara Community Men's Shed) has me, so I get to be the resident repairer.
We have also built displays using some of the old signalling equipment for the local railway museum, using an Arduino in one case.
It can be seen that there are a large range of skills amongst the membership in a Men's Shed besides just the woodworking/metalworking aspect.
