I just got an email from The Northwest Woodworking Studio (www.northwestwoodworking.com) in Portland, Oregon, announcing the school’s summer schedule. If you’ve ever taken a class at any woodworking school, more than likely you get these notices a couple times a year, so you know when classes become available. But if you’ve never taken a class but want to, now’s the time to check out the schedules and register for classes. You don’t want to miss a good opportunity.

I learned this lesson the hard way. A few years ago I wanted to take a summer class at The Center for Furniture Craftsmanship (www.woodschool.com) in Maine. I saw the schedule in winter but waited until spring to try to sign up. No good. The class was filled. So if you’re considering making a woodworking class part of your summer vacation, register now, before all the good classes are filled and you’re left with “Dovetailing with a Spoon”.
