Who Where What Why How

Meet the Lobethal and District Shedmen, affectionately dubbed LADS—a dynamic group of mates with a knack for mischief and camaraderie. Where do the magic moments unfold? Every Thursday. What defines the essence of LADS? It’s the alchemy of crafting, the joy of camaraderie, and a commitment to supporting one another. Why? Because sometimes, the best therapy is the simple act of standing shoulder to shoulder with a mate, tackling projects and life’s challenges together. So, how do they do it? With a toolkit of humor, creativity, and a shared passion for turning the ordinary into the extraordinary, the LADS embark on their shedventures.

Thursday Unleashed – A Day in the Life of LADS: Thursdays in Lobethal take a turn for the extraordinary as the LADS kick off their shedventures. The day commences with precision planning at the Lobethal Bakery around 8:45 am—because, let’s face it, a successful project starts with the perfect cup of coffee. The shed doors swing open around 9 am’ish (or thereabouts, because who needs a strict schedule in a shed?), and the LADS dive into their creative exploits, transforming raw materials into masterpieces. But beyond the sawdust and laughter, there’s a deeper commitment to supporting each other. LADS aren’t just crafting; they’re creating a haven where mates work shoulder to shoulder, sharing stories, and offering a helping hand when needed. So, if you catch the echoes of laughter mingling with the hum of power tools on a Thursday in Lobethal, you’ve stumbled upon the LADS—where crafting is more than a pastime, it’s a shared journey, and supporting one another is the true masterpiece.
