Any gunsmithing schools in Washington state?

Anyone know of any good smithing schools in WA state? Really nice would be a school where I could go nights/weekends.

Not that I'm aware of, but there's a great program at Trinidad State in Colorado. Speedy Gonzales is one of the instructors.

Cheers,

So nothing in WA?

OK, if there are no WA schools (how about Oregon?) what do people think of the AGI DVD courses? I think I learn alot better form hands-on and direct experience, but failing that perhaps I will have to try the "watch TV" style of learning.

Some AGI courses are done by Bob Dunlap, who set up the gunsmith program at Lassen College in Susanville, CA, one of the best in the nation. Even so, nothing beats classroom instruction by a teacher who really knows his stuff.
