This is probably out of the way for you, and you probably don't fall
into the district, but College of DuPage (http://www.cod.edu) has a
pretty good intro program. They don't teach it at the college, but
instead use the facilities (and teachers) from a few local high
schools. I have taken the class they offer at Fenton High School in
Bensenville. There are two guys who teach ww'ing there--I've had
classes with both of them, and they're both great. Dunno--maybe even
out of district you could still sign up...check with COD to see.

I'm looking hi and lo for intro courses on furniture making/woodworking
in the Chicago area.

I've already found Bauhaus Institute and J. Miller.

Any other courses/classes in my area (less expensive?).

Thanks!
