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.

Finer Points

Tom Beattie

If you are interested in the finer points of furniture making this is the place to be. Under Alastair’s stewardship, the Melbourne Guild of Fine Woodworking emphasizes craftsmanship and individual style. Prior the joining the MGFW I attended several other woodworking clubs and TAFE courses in Melbourne. In my opinion the MGFW is easily the best. Classes are relaxed and self paced and the facilities and machinery are excellent. The atmosphere is supportive and the quality of the furniture that leaves the premises is a constant source of inspiration. I recommend The Melbourne Guild ofFine Woodworking to anyone looking to take their woodworking to the next level.
