Howdy,

So you folks that live in the Bay Area all know about TechShop, right?

It looks pretty amazingly sweet. I'm amazed its there at all.

Howdy,

Yeah, it seems pretty crazy that it would be able to succeed to me as well. It'd be pretty easy to tear up $100 worth of cutters alone in a month, particularly if you didn't know what you were doing really. Or what happens if you've got a car on the lift and get screwed badly enough that you can't really get it off the lift and out of the way.

But... A friend of mine belongs and says its going quite well. I dunno what they do it terms of pre-screening folks or whatever.

I'd pay that per month to have access to the machining/welding/fabrication equipment alone, without any of the supplied consumables.
