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.

Enjoyable and deeply satisfying

Joining the Fine Furniture Open Course was a great move for me. Alastair is a talented professional with great knowledge and skills and with high performance standards. He is very generous in sharing his knowledge to teach and mentor students to achieve more than they’d have thought possible. The workshop sessions, which both develop traditional hand-tool skills and make use of the workshop’s quality machinery, are always challenging, enjoyable and deeply satisfying.
