A group of us in the Santa Monica area (recreational woodworkers) are trying to start a cooperative, where people in the community (after safety training) can come in and work on their own projects (and possibly participate in some workshops).
We are looking for business models to follow, particularly in terms of financial sustainability and liability issues. If anyone has any knowledge or leads in these areas, please contact me! Also, if you know of any woodshops (i.e. at a high school) that may be available for use/rent, I'd also like to know!
Many thanks,
-Brian
