The Melbourne Guild of Fine Woodworking was founded by Alastair Boell in 2007. After graduating from the world renowned North Bennet Street School, Boston (USA) Alastair felt that there was a great need in Australia for an educational facility that focuses on traditional skills. 

The Guild is committed to preserving and advancing craft traditions in furniture making. We are also committed to promoting a greater awareness and appreciation of
craftsmanship. In our classes we emphasize the skillful use of hand tools and power equipment and an informed use of appropriate materials. We are passionate about what we do and want to share information, ideas and skills with all our students young and old, from beginner to advanced.

Democratic Chair notes by Jon Grant. Recently designed by Curtis Buchanan, the Democratic Chair is so much more than the simple chair you may see at first glance. Being besotted by the baluster turnings and carved volutes of traditional Windsor Chairs, my first impression of the Democratic Chair was that it was somewhat understated if not naïve in style. How wrong I was!
