Woodworking Classes - PDX?

Howdy,

I tried posting this question a few days ago, but for the life of me I
can't find it now.

I'm interested in any basic woodworking classes in the PDX area. I'm
acutally in Vancouver and I have a rotating schedule, so it makes
difficult.

Any pointers in a general direction would be great.

Thanks

Lane Commuunity College down here in EUG has some weekend community
education woodworking classes. That's a bit far to drive, but have you
checked with the community colleges in the PDX area to see if they have
similar offerings?

(For those not from around these parts: PDX = Portland, Oregon. EUG =
Eugene, Oregon, about 120 miles south.)

I'll give basic woodworking class. I live in Shedd. Bring the beer and
we'll see what we can cut off.

P.S. I live in Shedd not in a Shedd. That's between PDX & EUG

Woodcraft in Tigard offers some weekend type classes, also Oregon
College of Art and Craft offers all sorts of classes, I would say check
OCAC first.

A frequent contributor (contrib. editor?) to Fine Woodworking magazine,
furniture maker, Gary Rogowski offers a number of classes through his
Portland, Northwest Woodworking School (I think is the name.) You should
be able to google it up...

Ah, heck, I took my happy pills today so you're the lucky recipient of

Check with Steve at Knight Toolworks. His classes on planemaking
are $450 a day and include instruction on visualizing wood grain,
cutting wood, sanding, scraping, planing, chisel use, blade angles
and sharpening, wood finishing, sweeping up, and long lunches.
www.Knight-Toolworks.com

(Hey, Steve, you should actually do something like this so we can do
more with the site upgrade! Think it over.) ;)
