To me 'hackerspace' involves working with computers.

Mens sheds typically involve older tools without any computers, this 
keeps the cost down and, as they are older people, usually the users 
have knowledge of and skills to suit these older tools.

These were formed to provide social interaction of retired men using the 
'work' as an aid to get them involved.
