I've really enjoying carving rifle stocks, but I've always wanted to learn how to run a lathe so I can thread and chamber my own barrels.

There are a couple 16+ week courses at local North Texas Colleges, but I was hoping to find something less formal. Im not looking for certifications or careers with this... its a hobby.

Does anyone know of a guild, or club type organization where experienced members are willing to teach others, and have access to the machines & equipment?

Im west of Fort Worth, but will make time to travel in the greater DFW area.
