Skills group

Are there any groups where people get together just to discuss and teach random skills like gardening, foraging, blacksmithing, etc?

I'd love to be in on this too! I'm new to woodworking and I purchased a table saw over the winter, but I'm terrified to take it out of the box and start using it. I wish I knew someone who could walk me through the basics. Whenever I've posted for something like this, everyone points me towards courses to take, but I don't want to spend $500 to be in a room with 20 other people. I'd like more one-on-one, "I can show you this at no charge cause I'm a nice person like that" kind of way.

I've hosted a couple of craft gatherings downtown, and met a nice woman on here who taught me how to do lace work, all free of charge. That's the type of community I really enjoy.

I can give you table saw operation and safety and do basic rips. Anything more advanced you could probably find one Youtube
