Is anyone aware of any businesses or co-op's where a person can go in
and use woodworking, metal, or other types of tools and machinery for
personal or hobby use. A place designed for the person that doesn't
have the cash, space, or need for specialize tools but does like to
work with their hands. Any information would be appreciated.

Just this past year, someone on this NG posted a link to just such a
place here in the Peoples Republik of Massachusetts. I wnat to say that
it was in Woburn, but am not 100% sure on that. A quick search did not
find it, but maybe some more skillful googling could.

The place had a website that showed wood and metal shop machines and a
forge with "more to come"... I think you had to sign up and take a
saftey course to use the machines and you could purchase memberships for
cheaper rates on shop time, classes and other benifits. Woburn is maybe
25 minutes from here, but I never went to see it, though I found the
concept interesting.

Not sure if they still exist. My brain has lost any further details.
Maybe someone else here can recall the discussion.

PS - PLEASE! somebody find it so that I know I was not imaganing it all...
