no-permitz,

No, MUCH later–1975 🙂

I have no idea if the New School still offers such courses, my point being that they are worthwhile, no matter where offered.

Bob, do you know when it starts or how often they give it? The NHS Brooklyn looks like it will be starting soon. The same goes for City Tech.

I took the class at NHS Brooklyn about 9 years ago and found it to be very worthwhile.

I didn’t know the New School offers repair classes. I’m aware of NHS Brooklyn and City Tech. Was it a series or individual classes?

Not these, but I took a basic carpentry course at the New School years ago, right after buying my house, and have found it very valuable.
