I recently posted a reference to
TechShop in another thread and it occurred to me that other people here that might not have read that thread would be interested.
Basically, it's a membership-based fully stocked workshop. They have things from power drills to bandsaws to plasma cutters to CNC millers to soldering irons to rapid prototyping machines.
There are only a few open right now, but they're working on more, and the one going to be near me just sent out an email in regards to their charter membership promotion.
It's a very cool idea and worth checking out if you're at all interested in making things.
