About The Woodworkers Institute

The Woodworkers Institute is the fantastic new online home of the market leading woodworking magazines from the Guild of Master Craftsman Publications. For those of you unfamiliar with us, the Guild of Master Craftsman Publications has been successfully publishing magazines like Woodturning and Furniture and Cabinetmaking, together with books on woodworking and a whole host of different crafts, for over a quarter of a century.

We are Europe's leading woodworking publisher and the Woodworkers Institute has been designed so you can access our vast and unrivalled catalogue of articles quickly and easily.

Under the heading of each of our four magazines you will find hundreds of articles in an easily searchable format. Each day we update more new projects, tests, features, videos and technical articles, making the Woodworkers Institute the most comprehensive and frequently updated woodworking website in the UK.

We also have a community section for members to discuss their latest projects, share inspiration, ask a question to one of our resident woodworking experts or just have a casual chat. And because we are woodworkers too, our team of writers and editors are frequently posting their thoughts via the blogs and making comments in the forums.

There will also be regular competitions and giveaways on the site so don't forget to check back in with us as frequently as you can.

Our aim is simply to make the Woodworkers Institute a home for those who have a passion for working with wood.

We hope you enjoy the site.
