I am a retired film editor and have done some stained-glass in the

believe I have the temperament and patience for it.

I now live in Oregon, between Eugene and Roseburg, and am trying to
figure out how to learn the craft/art. Learning hands-on from an
experienced person would be ideal but I could use some assistance to
find either a school, person, or course.

Have you, or anyone you know, had a similar desire to learn
woodworking and where did you get your education/experience?
