Where and How to Woodwork in the City?
I'm a hobbyist woodworker who'd like to start up again, but living the apartment life now, I don't really have anything like a workshop or garage.
I've been thinking I could possibly lug my tools to a city park, but I'm not sure about the legality of doing so (if there are ordinances against that sort of thing, or if some woodworking tools would constitute a weapon in a public place), and I would at least need some sort of vise or press to hold the work steady (I usually use planes, chisels and a drawknife on my projects.)
Does the city park idea have any gaping holes, aside from lack of a work surface? Has anyone in a similar situation found a creative solution to the problem of urban craftsmanship?
Depending on the city, they might have some type of artisans association or guild. You might also investigate a local tech school while it may cost , you could refine your skills.

Good luck, it took 4 moves and several thousand miles to get enough space to rebuild my HO train tables and scenery.
