  • If you can find at least 1 local Carpentry-certified instructor and another instructor who is qualified, you can probably run a self-organized workshop.

  • For a Carpentry organized workshop, you rely on the Carpentry organizations to find you one (or two) instructors, and help with some of the organizational details.

  • DC vs SWC vs LC

Six to Eight Weeks: Local Logistics
