What you'll do
Sharpen your skills at this hands-on woodworking course in Melbourne and learn how to make your own version of a Roorkee chair from scratch!The Roorkee Chair belongs to the genre of Campaign Furniture. Named in honour of the headquarters of the Indian Army Corps of Engineers at Roorkee, United Provinces, India and mainstay of the Army and Navy Stores catalogues, the Roorkee chair was among the most popular models of campaign chairs used by British Officers from approximately 1898 to the start of World War ll.The design for the class is based on the Roorkee chair in Schwarz’s book, with minor variations in aesthetics, process and hardware, gleaned from the experience of making many of these chairs over the last five years.You will be guided through the basic step by step process of building and assembling your chair with guidance from a friendly expert. You will work with hardwood, shellac, beeswax and leather to create your final piece. After this course, you will have a most comfortable chair to relax into, and possibly one of the best chairs to take camping to sit around a campfire!

Your teacher
The Melbourne Guild of Fine Woodworking (The Guild) was founded by Alastair Boell in 2007. After graduating from the world-renowned North Bennet Street School, Boston, USA, Alastair felt that there was a great need in Australia for an educational facility that focuses on traditional skills.The Guild is conveniently located in Blackburn and provides three different course formats:
- Our open courses offer ongoing morning, afternoon and evening woodworking classes for students of any level to undertake a project of their own desire.
- Our weekly project-based courses are geared towards beginners or anyone interested in a more structured class where everyone works on the same project once a week and where the start and finish dates are set.
- Our intensive project-based courses are for those who would like to immerse themselves in a project and have it completed in the shortest possible time. These courses range from a one-day course to an eight-day course.
