“Someone forgot to turn off the air conditioner last night.”
Members have heard this grumble since we moved into our third space (no pun intended).

His implementation not only will save the shop money, but also help the environment by cooling the space when it isn’t in use.

Makers Local 256 is thrilled to have a PSA being played via local NPR station WLRH. You can tune to WLRH at 89.3 FM.
A good ice maker can run you over $100, and nothing is made to last anymore. All too common makers buy home appliances only to discover that the manufacturer used a part that would wear out in under a decade. These mini switches are $5 a bag on amazon, and if you have the time to kill, you can get just the amount you need from eBay, or harvest them out of an old printer.
This repair was done using the soldering station at Makers Local 256.
Makers Local is still mostly inaccessible to the public right now, but our newly elected board is cooking up a plan to host a socially distanced \ Covid safer public night.
