Note: Everyone is welcome to our free public meetings, but only members can use the tools for insurance reasons.
We are happy to adapt any meeting to member or public interests!
Please come to the Sumter St. side of our building (1225 Laurel St.). Our entrance is under the drive-through canopy and inside the fence.

At every meeting we will offer a General Tool Introduction - Showcase of our tools! We will show you how to use our hand and power tools in the wood and metal shops. Great for new members!

You can also join us on Video - We use Discord to live stream our meetings.

​Here is our list:
July 7
Sewing - Our power tools in the woodshop get dusty! We will sew up some simple fabric covers tonight to protect them. All materials will be provided. Learn to sew and improve your makerspace!

July 21
Wood Turning on the Lathe - We can make nice looking wooden bowls on our lathe our of scrap wood. We will show you how to operate the lathe safely and efficiently. Scrap hardwood and softwood is generally available for members.

August 4
3D Printing - Filament and Resin. Learn to use our filament and resin 3D printers. They are not super fast, so we will only have time to print small objects, but you can come back later and print your own.

August 18
Clean Up - Every so often, we do a group clean up. Join us to talk about tech and projects while we sweep and dust! We will buy food if the group wants it!

September 1
Casting - We will fire up our propane furnace and practice aluminum casting.

September 15
Fusion 360 - Get an introduction to the free Fusion 360 Computer Aided Design software from Auto CAD. This is a great program to model for 3D printing or CNC cutting.

September 29
