Overview

This will be a list of information necessary for new members, all located here in one place.

We ask that you contribute to the shop. There's a very broad definition of 'contribute' - for most people it's donating money on a monthly basis, but we're open to the idea of services as a contribution. For example, mowing the lawn regularly. If you have an idea for a contribution, bring it up when you apply. There's no real limit to how much or how little to donate - we only ask that you donate what you can afford, and what you think your time at the shop is worth.

We vote on new members at our monthly meetings. After you apply, you still won't be an official member or get key access to the shop until you're voted on. Until then, you're still free to come by, in fact we encourage it. Before the board votes on your acceptance, we'd like to get to know you, so please come by and meet everybody. Talk about your interests, why you want to join, and what kind of projects you're interested in working on. There's people at the shop almost every weekday after 5, and any weekend afternoon. You can even start bringing some stuff by the shop to work on, and show off what you have to offer.

Checklist

  • Fill out your application
    • Figure out your contribution.
  • Meet the members
  • Start brainstorming some projects
  • Come to the monthly meeting, it's held the last Tuesday of every month
