I was wondering if anyone could recommend any quality classes in the
Southern NJ area? As an amateur there is soooo much I still have yet to
learn...
I'd taken an adult education woodworking class at Pennsauken High
School a while back, but the instructor seemed more interested in
socializing (esp. with the 2 ladies who enrolled) than teaching
anything. (In fact, he conducted zero formal lessons whatsoever - night
one was a basic orientation on what tools the shop had and some very
very generalized safety tips, and from there you were on your own.
Completely useless in my book...)
Unfortunately we have no Woodcraft stores, and the only Woodworkers
Warehouse I'm aware of (Rt. 130, Cinnaminson) closed down a while back,
so there are no woodworking-specific retail stores to check with.
TIA for any tips!
Brian
Brian,
What do you want to learn ?
I'm across the River, in the NE suburbs of Philly. There IS a place called
'Woodworkers Haven' {an independent operation, not part of the Canadian
chain} in Southampton, PA. I haven't been there in quite some time, but will
have to look at them again, now that the Woodworkers Warehouse chain closed.
Regards & Good Luck,
