[Woodcarver] Beginner looking for instruction around Boston, MA

[Robert Raposa]

Thanks for the store, club, and meeting information.  As I've continued my
research - I've found I'm as excited about the community of carvers as I am
about learning to carve.

Just wanted to give a couple more specifics - if this helps anyone.  I've
set up some personal goals around creating work by mid-August, because I
want to make sure I start in the present.  Additionally - I really want the
live human element.  A person that wants to share there passion through even
one (paid) lesson.  To meet my goal - I would hope to have the lesson by
early August.  I've recently realized, with the help of some conversations,
that I "may" need to do a little work on my own before a teacher can be
effective.  That is great if that's the case - but I'd love to still line
someone up and even possibly have him/her help guide me on the appropriate
pre-work.

In terms of what kind of project I'd like to work on, I am somewhat open.
Possibly some small figures.  Possible some small designs.  Possibly both.
I'm trying to remain pretty flexible in case the person who'd like to teach
me has a passion they'd like to share.  I know I may do other things in the
future.  Just want to start somewhere with someone.

I will be heading down to Woodcraft to get some stuff very soon - and
possibly continue to search for a teacher.  If someone wants to hop in
before that and guide me on my purchases - I openly welcome that.

Your club, meeting and workshop information will definitely continue to help
me in the future - so it too is appreciated.

Thanks so much for the warm welcomes and the carving spirit.

Robert
