Woodcraft Manningham
The clubroom is open to fully vaccinated members only, which is in line with the Victorian Government requirements. 
  • Please confirm your vaccination status with your group leader by showing your digital or hard copy fully vaccinated certificate or medical exemption. If you are a member of more than one group, or if you are visiting another group, you will need to confirm your status with each group leader.
  • Group sizes are limited to 1 person per 4sqm.  Effectively this means our groups resume at the  capacity they had before this last lockdown.

New Wood Projects Work Group
This group will allow you to focus on your own projects primarily using hand tools, limiting the use of machines and therefore the associated noise.

The group will meet on Monday mornings, on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Mondays of the month, commencing
8 November 2021.

​Who we are
​
Woodcraft Manningham is a group of interested woodworkers who will show you how to do it.
We are a hands-on club, with a large well equipped workshop.
We do not offer formal lessons and our fees reflect this.
Other members will help with different aspects of doing the project.
In turn one day you will help others to learn.

We have a series of woodworking groups in each of our disciplines during the month together with a monthly General Meeting, usually with a guest speaker talking on various woodworking topics.

We encourage all members to be involved in all aspects of club life.

Club Night
There is a Club General Meeting on the first Tuesday of each month at 7.00pm.
​Usually there is a guest speaker who talks about some aspect of woodworking including tool demonstrations and a show and tell, followed by generous supper.
​
​Where we are
We are based in an old single-roomed school building erected in 1874, previously used as the East Templestowe Primary School:

​Manningham-Templestowe Leisure Centre

Club History
​Woodcraft Manningham commenced as an entity in 1996 with the amalgamation of Central Turners, Doncaster Carvers and the Lady Turners clubs. Central Turners had started in 1986 formed as a "hands-on" club by some members of the Yarra Turners and initially met in the pattern making shop at RMIT.

​The initial driving force were well known turners Keith Towe and Max Marshall with the support of Jim Walker. The Doncaster Carvers had commenced in 1991 under the leadership of well known carvers Greg Williams and Bryan Thompson, and had previously met at a number of different venues.

In 2006 we celebrated our twentieth birthday and the Scroll Sawing group was established in November 2007
