I am sure these are all good places to attend a class. I happen to know Smitty at Rod Builder's Workshop and know he puts on a great class. Attending a class is surely the best way to get your feet wet in this craft.

Smitty is fantastic and I am sure he told you all the details regarding the length of the class. He builds some phenomeonal stuff, very informative, never opinionated, and can be very humorous! An all around great guy, You WILL NOT GO WRONG!
