On the subject of the Woodworking club on Rolling Acres I once went there to ask about a small project and met the same unfriendly people at the front desk. I was amazed at looking around there were small groups of people talking and no one working. I have never seen such a spotless workshop with not the siltiest sign of dust or wood shavings.
There were plenty of machines but they looked as though they are never used.

I agree - Villagetinker is the man!! Always helpful.
Regarding Rolling Acres - I too feel that the club gives the vibe of being elitist. Not friendly at the desk or on the phone. I'd think that if the "club" had such a long waiting list, that maybe they would think about extending the hours of the facility, to allow more usage of the often idle equipment, and real estate.
Someone noted that "volunteers" may be the snobby types, whereas the real club members are all nice. If I was in the club, I'd request the officers to have the real (nice) club members volunteer to provide information to us outsiders requesting help on projects, or how to join the club.
Maybe the Brownwood location will provide a friendlier reception.
