Anyone know of a place around here that has machine shop classes. Lathe, mill etc?

What do you want to do? I have a pretty good 5-DVD set of lathe instruction, and can walk you through the basics of either lathe or mill.

I'd be interested in that too.

Try Farmingdale State College, they used to have a good program there.

I wouldn't mind borrowing those (I can make copies for others too...)

Funny thing is, my Grandfather was a Master Machinist for Greenlee - Remember the joke about the specialist who came in, turned one screw and billed $10k? - He DID that... He had retired and they kept calling him back in to setup machinery, no one else knew how...
So I kinda learned what I know through osmosis.... I keep wondering what I could learn in a class.

Farmingdale College used to have Machine Too Lab, part of their MET program [mechanical engineering technology].
I learned working summers while in high school & college in the 70's. All manual machining. The guy who taught me, VIC, looked like he came right out of American Graffiti but was willing teach "the kid" for which I am truly grateful.
Never got into the CNC world
