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
