Welcome to Knox District Woodworking Club.
The NEW website for the Club is now at: www.knoxwoodies.org.au
Work on this site ceased 5/10/2016 after running since 1997. Archives are kept for posterity.
If you are interested in anything to do with wood, then we extend to you, our invitation to join our club members on the 1st Wednesday of the month, to see our club facilities, and meet with fellow Club Members.

No experience with woodworking is needed, although a passion and interest is expected. Our Club members will be only too happy to share their general woodworking experiences and hospitality with you, but remember, they too have their projects to do as well! However if you desire to participate in a particular wood specialty, join a project group and become involved in some of the activities we regularly enjoy. From carving, wood-turning, furniture building, modelling, rocking horse making, to just talking about wood related matters. Explore the Club facilities offered by KDWC.

Membership costs are modest, so come along as a visitor to meet us. You are under no obligation to join when you visit to learn more about the fascinating and rewarding world of WOOD!

The times the Club is open is something we can boast about - possibly one of the most available clubs around! (in the order of 36 hours every week except Xmas). The last page of the most current Ingrained newsletter outlines the most up-to-date information, but here's just a quick timetable example.

Club AIMS:

1. To promote woodcraft by creating an interest in working with wood.
2. To foster communication amongst woodworkers and assist them in
achieving excellence in design and craftmanship.
3. To promote recognition of woodworking skills.
