Last month, I had the honour of attending the opening of the Berwick District Woodworkers Club Annual Woodworking Expo. The expo, which went over a whole weekend in July, was truly a display of local master craftsmanship. Some of my favourite items were the handcrafted wood pens by club member Chris Drysdale. There were other amazing pieces too, such as an expertly crafted, wooden train replica of the Jupiter, which was a steam locomotive train that transported passengers and goods in California and Utah in the 19th century. There were too many amazing pieces to mention in this speech, suffice to say it was all quite breathtaking. After also visiting the Cranbourne-Casey Men's Shed recently, I think I'm becoming a second-hand expert on woodworking! I encourage everyone and anyone interested in woodworking to head down to their shop at 34 Homestead Road, Berwick. I thank the club again for their invite, particularly the club president, Brian, and the whole executive team. Once again, please do visit the woodworkers club in Berwick.
