A dovetail a day

After years of self taught furniture making full of mistakes and bad joinery I thought it was time to improve my skills and sign up to a course in the Melbourne Guild of Fine Woodworking. Two and a half years later and I am glad I did! The instructors at MGFW are fantastic teachers with immense patience, knowledge, artistry and enthusiasm to help anyone learn the age old wisdoms of fine woodworking and improve their craft. In a world that promotes rampant consumerism and short lived products, this school is a bastion for timeless craftmanship. I was also inspired by the fantastic work being made by other students, which is also a reflection on the school. I highly recommend learning at this school and found it immensely fulfilling, if only I could come to MGFW everyday!
