Friendly and inclusive
As well as providing tools, machinery and a space for woodcrafting, we aim to provide a friendly atmosphere and encourage camaraderie among members. We are a friendly bunch and welcome all comers.
We also aim to be as inclusive as we can of people of all abilities, while observing safe work practices. Wood working machinery by its very nature can be dangerous so safety is our highest priority.

We do not teach woodwork or other technical skills. Nevertheless, there are a number of members qualified and experienced in a variety of trades and these people are happy to provide help and tips to beginners, or even to more experienced members when they require assistance. In addition, instruction sessions on using certain woodwork techniques and making specific objects are run from time to time for those who are interested.
