What is the mystery box? Who did this? What is it for????

Tim welded rebar to the new welding table. No more wobble

Tim welded the cross out of rebar and checking wood swatches for a background

Tim cutting rebar to size

Looks like a swing and miss, but so much strength hammer goes through it like butter.

zpr.io/KV3DddhqG8Hs Tim gifted the space a new welder. It will go well with the new welding table being added to the back shop!

The space was gifted a new welder today. Here is the unboxing. #makers

zpr.io/RYaMK Get ready to smash something! UnMaker 3.0 is starting to take shape!

zpr.io/HBYGD With thanks to some generous donors and some recent fundraising, we are now the proud owners of a Delta 10” Contractor Saw. This beast is SO much better than what we had! A couple of our members put it together tonight, and while we had the ceremonial “fi

zpr.io/HvS5h Our sandblaster got some much-needed upgrades today. Built a mobile base (which also improves the working height) and installed new lighting. Would like to add dust control and replace the window at some point.

zpr.io/HvNRM How much snow? Next time, we’ll know! After yesterday’s snowfall, one of our members decided they needed a snow gauge. So last night they threw this graphic together and cut it on the laser today. It has a block on the back with holes to accept garden stak
