- Club History
Woodcraft Manningham commenced as an entity in 1996, in an
amalgamation of the Central Turners Club and the Doncaster Carvers
Club, joined by a newly formed Lady Turners Group. Central Turners
had started in 1986, formed as a "hands-on" club by some members of
the Yarra Turners and had 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 series of different
sites.
In 2006 we celebrated our twentieth birthday. Scroll Sawing group
established November 2007.

Mission statement
Woodcraft Manningham is a "hands-on" Club with a large, well
equipped, workshop in an old single roomed school building erected
in 1874 and which used to be the East Templestowe Primary School. We
have a series of woodworking sessions in each of our disciplines
during the month, and also a monthly General Meeting for discussion
of woodworking topics of general interest.
We have an
obligation and commitment to promoting and developing woodcraft
activities in the City of Manningham and also to the wider populus,
with regular demonstrations in the community, and also teaching
programs in turning, carving and small box-making.
Visitors and New Members are always welcome.
