Does anyone know of any woodworking classes available in the area?

I'm specifically interested in hand tool skills.

I know CCAC often offers non-credit woodworkig classes, but there's nothing available at this time.

I usually can find anything via google, but I can't seem to find anything.

Any ideas?

My dad used to make furniture as a hobby.... and there was a couple of wood stores he's frequent to find fine stock -- cherry, mahogany... one was on Rte 19 in the North Hills -- I'd get out the old familiar yellow pages and look under wood.

I did find this

Western Pennsylvania Woodworkers

Part of me would love to start doing this, too. I'd love to make some 1950's Jetson style furniture (Hey-Wake) but of course, much much stronger.... but I got NO room..... and of course, it's not like I don't already spend money on fabric for my quilting.... I can't have TWO expensive hobbies.

Oh -- check out the newsletters on that site I gave you -- they have classes listed

Hopes, where are you located?....At the least, what county.
You want classes with hand tools, working in woods?
I know of one in Monroe and one in Lehigh county..........

This is the shop on McKnight Rd, probably what someone was thinking of above:

Rockler Woodworking and Hardware - Pittsburgh, PA Store

But it doesn't appear from the site that they have any classes scheduled. Maybe give them a call.

Don't know what else off the top of my head though.

Since I'm a new member I'm not allowed to give you any real information like a link. So you'll have to go find this on your own.

GNA Woodworks has classes

You can find more on Yelp (no link here)
