Hey Makers! This Tuesday, 03/29/22, we are going to be selling off all the unclaimed tools from our supply of redundant tools to the general public.

If any of the tools are left unsold by Friday, 04/01/22 they will be pawned, donated, or trashed, if you have interest in the freebies, also contact Facilities before then.

Here is the link to the album of what will be for sale.

If you would like to discuss any of the tools before the sale, please contact facilities@makerslocal.org.

If you’ve swung by the make shop in the past few years, you know our laser cutter is our pride and joy.  It’s likely the most utilized fabrication tool at the space.

A few years ago we did a fundraiser to buy this, and we’ve put plaques on its side letting every one know who our biggest contributors are, and how thankful we are to them.

Volunteers have put countless hours into keeping it running and teaching others how to use it.  All of the exhaust is vented safely outside using dryer ducting and squirrel cage fans. Those little guys run so fast in there keeping the turbines spinning…

In addition to cutting and etching flat surfaces, we also have a rotary tool for lasering on curved objects.

If you would like to learn how to use a laser cutter, give us a shout on our Slack channel, or come see us on a Tuesday night.  We’ll put you in contact with one of our volunteers, and maybe one day you’ll be the one teaching someone else.
