So like, a gym but for carpenters?

I’m interested in making my own guitar but idon’t have the tools/nor can I afford them.

Any help would be appreciated. I live in Torotono, Ontario, if its important. I’m not looking for specific locations but what a place like this would be called, how much it costs, etc etc. If you do know a specific place though thats also awesome!

Cheers,

Mike

I never heard of a “community woodshop”, though schools, colleges and universities usually have a woodshop which can be used by students in the art departments. But they will only give you access if you are enrolled to take classes - which cost money. Though if you are already at a school/university check out if your institution has anything like that. Maybe they let you use the tools - often they look for shop monitors to do work study which in turn gets you experience and access, but you have to invest a good chunk of time.
