Due to Covid-19 instead of class please contact Jim Kennon or Aaron Newcomb and we will try to make arrangements for training. This class will not be held until Covid restrictions allow for it

For all those interested in using the various machines we have available in the Maker Space machine shop, here is your opportunity to share and learn with others.

We encourage members to use the machine shop and collaborate with others in building projects, doing R&D, product testing and development or just increasing your skill level. Here is some of the equipment we have available.

• Milling Machine

• Metal Lathe

• Drilling Machines

• Sheet metal Shear

• Sheet metal Brake

• Hand Punch, Corner Notcher, Kick Punch

Join us for a fun evening of discussion and collaboration on the first Thursday of each month.

 
 
 

Anyone is welcome. Drop by and say hi. You can check out the space and discuss fun projects. Maybe you can learn something. Maybe you can help with a project. There might even be coffee.

If you have a project you are working on bring it for show and tell. If you are stuck or need ideas this would be a great time to ask!

 
 
 

*** This meeting is now in person, but following social distancing protocols. Masks required. Hand sanitizer available. 6 ft apart.***

Join us and work on your microcontroller, Arduino, or Raspberry Pi project.

This is a user group where you bring your hardware, meet fellow makers and talk about what you are working on and ask questions about how to get from here to there.

We supply AC power and workspace for you to work on whatever you bring and show off to others. We have multimeters, soldering irons, and spare components for you to work on that fantastic project.

Feel free to come and just hang out and see our awesome space (and consider becoming a member).
