• 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.
