Anyone know of rod building classes for beginners? (in the Boston/Cape Cod area)

First,

Buy this short and to the point book. Covers just about everything for the beginner and then some. If you read this book you can get started without a class. Sometimes classes just don't work to ones schedule. You can always ask questions here if in doubt. It isn't rocket science but takes some patience and is very addicting in the winter.
