I’m 22 years old and am about to graduate with a bachelors degree in theology.  I live in NW PA and I’ve been working at an organbuilding corporation part-time/full-time, doing millwork(dimensioning rough lumber), and I now work with keyboards and the consoles, the finer woodworking stuff.  I’ve taken a week long class at conover workshops on handtool joinery and am just about finished with my tage frid style workbench, and have built a few smaller things, a bench, a few jewelry boxes, etc.  I’ve read quite a few books on furniture making, etc, and have a strong theoretical knowledge of furniture design/ construction, with some experience. 

I’ve applied to Thaddeus stevens woodworking program and want to know what you all think of it.  It seems like a good program and Steve Latta seems to know what he’s doing from the articles I’ve read.  I also like the fact that it includes some architectual stuff and kitchen cabinetry.    If anyone has any ideas of another course of action, let me know.
