I thought there was a post about just such a place. Somewhere you could rent the use of tools and machinery I believe. I did a quick search and nothing turned up. What specifically are you looking for ? If you just want shop time, I may be able to help.

I would be interested in something like this as well. I'll keep an eye on this thread in case anything pops up.

Woodcraft in Springfield VA has classes on certain things on most Saturday mornings.
It is an excellent store with friendly people so it is worth the trip in my opinion. There is also a gentleman's establishment right across the road if you are into that sort of thing.
I started with no knowledge except my fathers tools but I learnt alot on the website below.

PaxSpace in Hollywood (across 235 from Brewster's) is what you are looking for. There is an open house coming up on April 12, or use the contact links on the website to set up a time to visit before then.

I have a question regarding fixing some woodworking....
I have a really nice (what I believe is) oak dining room table set...after moving it in and out of storage several times in the past couple years I guess one of the chair's legs must've cracked and when it was sat on recently, that crack broke the bottom portion of the leg off. Any businesses regarding woodworking, cabinetry etc. that anyone knows of that'd be willing to look at the chair? The whole set is gorgeous and has been in the family forever...I'd at least like to have someone who knows a little something take a look and make sure it's not a complete stack of firewood now.
TIA
Try an Amish furniture maker.

Can you post a picture of the damaged chair.
There are many here that just may be able to take care of it.

Is that a front leg or a back leg? If the break isn't too boogered up and fits back together nicely that may be fixable with a good glue job.

It's the front leg and it's some what of a clean crack...my father already attached it with wood glue but him and I are both terrified no one will ever be able to sit on it again and wanted someone to look at it...possibly reinforce it better.
