What is a community woodshop?

Most cities don’t have a community woodshop. Usually if you’re interested in pursuing woodworking you need to find space at home, which you can forget as a renter in an apartment, and slowly start building up a collection of tools. 

Not anymore. A community woodshop is a large collection of tools that you get access to right away. Think about it like going to a gym rather than piece meal buying a set of weights.
