MakeFixHack Newsletter - Open Hours Saturday 3-6, Talk & Tinker Tuesday 6-9

tl;dr: Great turnout at Talk & Tinker, Open Hours Sat 3-6 & Talk & Tinker Tuesday 6-9, membership details coming soon Hi All!

We’ve been having great turn out at all our recent events, with new people coming by, and lots of cross-over interest, with people coming to Mending Monday or Open Hours, then coming back for Talk & Tinker, either to get some repair advice, continue working on a project, or to just say hi! It’s wonderful to se what interests everyone and hear your ideas for what can be done with our space.

Upcoming Events

Saturday 2/1 from 3 - 6 pm, we’re having our first Open Hours session. This is basically what it sounds like, we’re open and you can come in to use the space. Bring a project to work on, peruse our supplies and tools to get an idea for a project, or just check out the space and chat for a bit. Since a variety of tools may be in use during this session, we do have safety glasses available to borrow if needed and there will be a waiver to sign upon entering.

Talk & Tinker Tuesday 2/4 from 6 - 9 pm. This week is just a general session, so bring out a project, see what we have to inspire a new creation, or just hang out for a bit. We have a wide variety of hand tools, soldering irons, rotary tools, sewing supplies, electronic components, and lots more. If there’s something special you’re looking to use, or something you’d like specific help with, get in touch at this email or on Discord and we’ll do what we can to get you what you need. Since a variety of tools may be in use during this session, we do have safety glasses available to borrow if required and there will be a waiver to sign upon entering.

There is no set cost for these session, however donations are appreciated and help us maintain the space and build our community. And unless otherwise stated, all ages are welcome, but anyone under 18 will need a responsible adult present.

Updates

We still have a few more details to work out regarding memberships, so there isn’t any official information quite yet, but we will be announcing the details very soon. As I noted last week, we’re excited to be able to offer a very affordable rate starting out, with easy add-ons if you want to give more to help us grow. We’ll have a schedule of member access hours, early registration and possible discounts for workshops and classes, a limited number of onsite storage add-ons, and we’re looking into other benefits like group supply orders and (hopefully) discounts at local businesses.

Be safe and keep making things!
