But it's all in good jest.
The point in question is - who gets the most out of the weekly sessions attended by St Pius X students - the volunteers or the students?
Les Donald, 72, said joining the group was the best decision he had ever made.
Six years ago he was recovering from a triple bypass.
"I was a bit depressed, I was just sitting at home," Mr Donald said.
He was encouraged to take up a hobby and decided to see if the men's shed was for him.
"It's the best thing I've ever done," Mr Donald said.
"I love it."
He said he found teaching the students how to use their hands and how to make use of recycled wood was very rewarding.
On Wednesday the grade five and six students attended the men's shed for their last weekly session of the year.
It was a bittersweet moment for Mr Donald, who wasn't going to let anything stop him from being there.
"I was up at the hospital last night," he said.
He was given the all clear and said he had been determined to help the students craft their final pieces of the year.
In a fortnight, the students will again join the volunteers for an end-of-year celebration, where students will race the billycarts they made.
Mr Donald credits the men's shed with a huge improvement in his mental health.
He encouraged other people to join to make new friends and pass on new skills to the next generation.
St Pius X grade five student Archie O'Dwyer said he was going to miss the weekly sessions.
He is looking forward to presenting his nan with the wooden car he created for her.
