[General] Woodworking teaching volunteer wanted

[Jeff Cotten]

Before I traipse off to the woodshop on the arsenal, does anyone know
somebody who would be willing to give an introductory woodworking class at
Makers Local 256?

I know Michele and I have been interested in learning how to make a spoon
rack, I'd settle for learning how to make a stool :)
