You might want to check with your local high school or vo/tech school. Some
have very good woodshops that are opened to the public on certain evenings.
You just need to be a resident of the district in which that school is
located.

when i was in the air force, each base i was stationed at had a wood
hobby shop where you could work on projects for an hourly rate (you
could use their tools and a technician would provide assistance if you
had problems). does anyone know if wood hobby shops are available in
the civilian sector, specifically in pittsburgh, pennsylvania.

thanks,
paul
