The Illawarra Woodworkers Group is a non profit volunteer group located in the Illawarra region of New South Wales. This website is for anybody who is interested in woodworking for enjoyment as much as it is for the members and it contains a collection of past newsletters, an events calendar and general information on our craft.
Use the menu to the left to navigate around the site. The location of the workshop and directions to find us are shown on the Location page, we have details of the exhibitions and club events in the Events Calendar and a wide selection of useful Web Links for woodworkers.
A growing selection of our members work is showcased in the Members Gallery as well as having some woodwork Items for sale. We also make toys that are donated to local charities.

Grant Projects Update
Work on the building extensions is now complete, with just a few small tidy up jobs to finish. This will make an execellent addition to the workshop and allow us to continue to work even if it is raining.
The dust extractor is installed and operational with the bandsaw connected. Some rearrangement of the workshop is required for the other equipment, that should happen in February. Many thanks to those members who have put in a lot of time over the last year to make these projects happen.
When I get a bit of time I will start a web page for progress & pictures on both projects.

Support from Shellharbour & Oak Flats Branch of Bendigo Bank
We have been very fortunate to receive support from the Shellharbour & Oak Flats Branch of the Bendigo Community Bank in the form of a grant to cover our cost of our workshop consumables supplies. This generous support has allowed us to have on hand a ready supply of glue, nails, screws, sandpaper and a few bandsaw blades. This will help our workshop activities enormously.
This support is very much appreciated by the members and our sincere thanks go to all the staff at Bendigo Bank and in particular the staff at Shellharbour & Oak Flats.
