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.

I have admired this Japanese art form since I was a child when I saw some cabinets in an exhibition at the museum- at least I think they were cabinets.
While I did not produce the lovely neatest work of the group, I was well pleased with my efforts and I am very proud of my 2 completed samples.
I am so pleased I participated in the course and I am now very keen to have a go at more and improve my skills.
Thank you MGFW

Des is a terrific teacher and he was very generous with his knowledge and experience, especially on the subject of jigs. I am so pleased I participated in the course and I am now very keen to have a go at more and improve my skills. Thank you Des, Shinobu and MGFW.
