What weâre about
We are a Central Oregon makerspace, a workshop for the people. We have a building stuffed with woodworking tools (band saw, planer, table saw, jointer, etc.) metalworking tools (welding equipment, 20 ton press, metal lathe, Bridgeport, etc.) and more. This group is one of our announcement channels for classes, events, meetups and more. We hope that you will swing on by our shop at 444 SE 9th street here in Bend, or call us at 541-388-CAVE.
