I recommend checking with your local community colleges and universities in their fine art or constructions trade classes, and any city or regional sponsored Park & Rec arts & crafts programs. Also, the Building Education Center in west Berkeley is a non-profit construction trades classes for individuals and offers hands-on workshops with various power tools and other issues, including codes and environmentally sound housing materials. their website is http://www.bldgeductr.org/ -might be a good starting point. -Cheryl Maslin ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
