Can I borrow someones woodshop for a few hours?

[derekmcwilliams.livejournal.com]

I'd like to make a wooden ring for my girlfriend out of ebony - I have a broken upright bass with a nice ebony fingerboard that's otherwise useless.  So, I'm wondering if someone would allow me use of their woodshop (basic tools and perhaps a wood lather) for a few hours so I can make this ring..

I'm reasonably competent in a woodshop - I wouldn't need much supervision...

Willing to pay for the time used...

Thanks!
