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.

Testimonials

All round, time well spent!

Tom Beattie

It had been so long since I did any actual woodworking, in fact searching through my memory it is about 42 years. Simeon Dux rekindled my desire to get back into making stuff. The course was very educational and as I expected and very hands on. Simeon a great teacher and answered all my questions. He also managed my lack of expertise with aplomb and kindness. All round, time well spent.
