A group of us in the Santa Monica area (recreational woodworkers) are
trying to start a cooperative, where people in the community (after
safety training) can come in and work on their own projects (and
possibly participate in some workshops).

We are looking for business models to follow, particularly in terms of
financial sustainability and liability issues. If anyone has any
knowledge or leads in these areas, please contact me! Also, if you
know of any woodshops (i.e. at a high school) that may be available
for use/rent, I'd also like to know!

Many thanks,
