Default Re: Wood shop

Boy will you be surprised. The Villages Woodshop is unbelievable! It is spacious, organized like a swiss watch, and has every hand or power tool you'll ever need. There are some carvers and turners whom I think never miss a day in the shop. Everything from a house full of cabinets to a toy that fits in your hand is being made. The modest initiation fee and annual dues would never pay for what is provided, but the developer underwrote the operation handsomely and the quality of the place is maintained exclusively with volunteer help. I'm proud to rub shoulders with some of the most dedicated men and women I've ever met, many of whom not only work tirelessly for the shop, but also in building hundreds of toys annually donated to underprivileged kids.
