Peter,

The University has a Theater Design & Production major. I'm certain they have a wood shop, as that major does a lot of set construction. Perhaps a bit of negotiating would allow you access to their shop facilities.





Great idea, thank you.

Teaching wasn't a great fit. :bigger:

I've got crazy ideas like discipline, strict deadlines, and consequences.







Padre you are sounding a lot like some Nuns who I had through elementary school. Did you rap knuckles with a ruler?

Doesn't the university have a shop for their own needs and/or teaching purposes? Maybe a local high school shop???




I know that they have a carpentry shop but that looks like it is part of the physical plant.

It is certainly something that I'm going to check out but I don't think they'll allow me a space being brand new... maybe after some time and getting to know the staff.

It will be something that I'm going to look into.

Can't you threaten them that you are on a first name basis with someone that can smite them pretty easily?

They were some sadistic old bitties with a mean streak. Would make mob hitmen look like pansies. These were a few of the nicer ones.

Peter, when you get there check out the Triad Woodworkers Assn in Greensboro, not far away, you might find out more about available shop space. Link:

You are a half hour from Roy Underhills shop. Maybe you can teach there on weekends??
