SWharton Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 I have a friend who is looking for a snowbird location in Phoenix or RGV with a large Woodshop. He loves doing wooodwork and even teaches classes. I have no idea how to find a CG with this faility so I hope the Woodworkers would make some suggestions. Thanks.

richard9040 Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 I don’t know about Phoenix but the Cocopah RV resort at Yuma has a fantastic fully equipped wood shop. Visitors can use it for a small donation to cover the cost of sharpening bandsaw blades etc. It is a great friendly resort with lots of things going on and the prices are very reasonable.

NDBirdman Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 Do these woodshops have lathes?

Jim Gell Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 Carefree Manor Trailer Resort in Apache Junction, a suburb of Phoenix, has a wood shop. I used a table saw briefly to cut some trim when I installed a new fridge while I was there. I didn't look around much or notice if they had a lathe. My guess would be no. HDT'r Daryl of "Daryl and Rita", who are active on this site, spend their winters there and he could tell you much more about the shop. We are at Voyager in Tucson, so if you need more info on their woodshop, I should be able to get it for you. 2001 Volvo 770, Detroit 60 Series, Gen 2 Autoshift Passenger assist elevator to enter cab - for when we need it, or sell it?

Not the RV park, but we were once stationed at LAFB. Everytime we went near there, usually on the trip to Las Vegas, we laughed/chuckled at all the golf carts on the road and the old pharts. Now.... I'm one of those old pharts, would be perfect for me to end up spending time there. Careful what ya say as a very young punk, ehh?
