Hi
I found your forum while google searching for a wood hobby shop. I'm new to Texas and have not taken my tools out of storage yet. I was looking for a place like yours for woodworking projects.
Is your hobbyshop open to anyone? Are there other places in the North Dallas area like the Sawdust Shop mentioned in an earlier post. I need a table saw and a router w/dovetail jig for my latest project

Thanks for the help.
Mike

Actually something like Sawdust shop is exactly what we aim to create, except it will go beyond just wood tools. Our current marketing summary:
Neighborhood Workshop is a public access workshop operating on a gym membership model. Our first location will open in the Dallas area in early 2010. The workshop will allow people to build almost anything imaginable by providing access to, and training on a wide variety of tools, including wood and metal shop equipment, welding, vacuum forming, as well as computer controlled embroidery, sign cutting, laser engraving and 3D printing equipment. Major equipment will require passing a safety class, but then your membership grants you unlimited first-come, first-served access to it. Skill building and project classes will be available for an additional fee. We will also operate a retail shop providing access to small quantities of hard to source materials.
We are currently deep in the planning stages and are beginning the fundraising process. In the mean time, we are making our private workshop available for use as sort of a test installation. So in answer to your question, yes. It's available. I'll PM you my contact info so we can find a time. I have a table saw and two routers. I don't have a dovetail jig, but I'm sure we can build something to do it.

Michael

Actually, looking at the photos, those are square dovetails, we can cut those on the table saw directly. No router needed.

Yeah, its just a series of box joints. I was planning to change it up a little. Thank you for your offer, I'll be in touch.

MacFan,

Wow, I just checked out Aquaticobsession. Is that your home? Here I was thinking I had a problem when I was at the peak of my Multiple Tank Syndrome infection. Those are gorgeous!!!

Yes it is. We are definitely heavily infected with MTS... only been able to pare it back to 14 tanks from a high of 18!
