Can anyone direct me to information about operating a woodworking co-op. I have in mind a location with equipment requiring a membership fee to use the tools and store a project while it is being completed. Are there such organizations? What about cost and operating guidlines? Insurance? Anyone have experience with this? George
woodworking club or co-op.

It would help to know where you are. Dave in Fairfax
Not sure where you are located. I live in SF Bay Area and there are two co-op type places in Oakland and Emeryville that advertise space available on craigs list

I was renting "bench space" (my own 10 x 10 area) in one of them for $300 a month, 24 x 7 access to shop and all tools, spray booth, snad/strip booth and lumber storage.
It was a bit of a drive for me and I negotiated basicially the same agreement with a local cabinet shop with the stipulation I would work mostly nights and weekends. Much nicer equipment by the way, Unisaw,
25" belt sander, 20" planer, 6' planer, etc, etc.Join the Discussion
