There was a guild - old name - of wood workers where I used to live. They had
a small shop and trained each other on the machines.
The year before I got to town - '86 or such - two of the men really wanted 1 plank
of wood. It was bought in a batch for the group. The men got into a fight
and one died. So sometimes there can be problems that are not expected.
The guild disbanded - the shop on someones land stayed locked. I guess
the county will get it or some un-suspecting family member down the line.

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.



Found it!
It was called "Sparqs Industrial Arts Club" located in Woburn Mass.
it appears to have fallen prey to any and all of the issues mentioned in
this thread, and is now out of business. If you google the name, you
will find links to a few articles that state that they ran out of funding.

I don't have much need for such a service, but I thought the concept
was cool.
