  1. this class sounds great. does anyone know of a class more specifically for cabinetmaking or carpentry/ woodwork. i have scoured the internet and not found anything. there used to be one at the 92nd st Y, but they don’t offer it anymore.

  2. I took the class too, way back when. It was truly valuable, and fun, too. The instructors were great, and the people in the class worked well together, and we all learned so much. I highly recommend it to everyone.

  3. We took this class in Bed Stuy, and it was just amazing. We learned how to install all types of flooring, faucets, sinks, tiling, build walls, and basics like repair sheetrock. We LOVED Louis and Craig! And it was very cheap, but that was 3 years ago. Not sure of the price now.
