I know this article is more about "maker spaces" than "wood shops", but there is also somewhat of a renaissance in traditional hand-tool woodworking going on. A new community shop opened in Toronto which is based entirely on hand tools: http://www.theunpluggedwoodshop.com/. I'd like to see more people realize they don't need $1000s of high tech machines to build the same types of furniture we've done by hand for centuries.

Here in North Carolina we have the Folk School for this sort of thing. I'd love to see them open a satellite campus in the Triangle.
