The Emerald Woodworkers Group
What we're about!
The group have been going a few years and are a pretty laid-back bunch. Any visiting woodies are welcome to come along and any locals that aren't in the club had better join soon! All aspects of woodworking are catered for in one way or another including cutting and milling our own timber. So if you're interested in cabinetry, woodturning, carving, intarsia or whatever, come along and see what the group have to offer - you might be pleasantly surprised!
The clubs workshop at the Emerald Showgrounds is fully fitted out so that the members can work on community and club projects together. The club occasionally holds fundraising events around town and also makes wooden items for individuals and organizations to raise money. Our main role is to help other not-for-profit community groups with projects they could not otherwise afford to complete. Where we can, we also help out with community projects like the foot-bridge and planter-box built for the Special Education Unit pictured below.
Although it is not included in our clubs name, we have recently affiliated with the Queensland Men's Shed Association. The club has always been a place where blokes could go for a chat and some company whether they are woodies or not, and many find it a big part of improving their mental health and well-being.
