Chattlab Makerspace

Join us if you want to talk about how to use some of the tools, general rules and help us decide the direction we'll take the "WoodLab" woodshop. We'll also do a quick general clean as a team. I'm Jeff, one of the area leads that will be hosting the meetup and get your feedback on what may be good to improve on (there's lots!)

The schedule will be roughly:

• 6:00 to 6:30 : General WoodLab orientation for new folk.
• 6:30 to 7:00 : Team clean - we all pitch in to do some cleanup.
• 7:00 to 8:00 : Improvement discussion and project work.

If you don't need an orientation, feel free to come in a little later, but hopefully soon enough to help us do some cleaning. :)

Bring in your projects or your questions and work collaboratively with other local makers to make cool things. Come by Chattlab any time between 7-9 pm on Thursdays and We'll be there messing around with some nonsense. Bring in your own projects, questions, or skills and we'll all work to figure out how to make things happen.

Chattlab is local makerspace that has been around for over a decade. It has no paid employees and is supported entirely by the membership. It is located in the Business Development Center on North Shore. You can find us in the alley between Cherry Street brewing and the building we're in. Facilities include an electronics workstation, a wood shop, a metal shop, laser cutters and 3d printers, a computer lab, and much more.

Tuesdays are our open meetings. All in the public are welcome to attend the meeting and get tours of the makerspace after the meeting events.

On the first Tuesday's of the month we give a brief presentation of what has happened over the past month and what things are coming up. Sort of a "current state of things" kinda thing.

On other Tuesdays we have a show and tell and try to do a brief demonstration of some sort. We're always looking for new demo topics, so if you have something that takes 20 minutes or less to present, let us know, or if you have a cool thing you made and want to do a 5 minute show and tell, we'd love to see it.

If you have heard about us and want to see what we're about, show up up a little early between 6pm and 7pm and someone will be there to show you around.

Please be so kind as to RSVP if you are going to make it so we know if someone is coming. Don't worry, you don't get a sales pitch. Most of us are introverted engineers and makers and aren't into sales. We are more interested in talking about cool stuff that we make or that you make.

NOTE! When you show up, go to the side door and ring the doorbell. It might take us a minute or 2 to walk over there to let you in.
