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.

The stool that we will be making during this 10 week course has its origins in the Shaker life. It represents a great opportunity to master both the skills of ‘hand cut dovetails’ and ‘mortise and tenon’ joinery. One aspect of this course that sets it aside from the other courses that we run, is that there will be no machinery used to produce your stool. Hand tools only!
