The Tim VanSandt Makership LVL1 Makership

Note: This program is funded completely through donations and NOT through our membership dues.

  • We currently have enough funds to offer a Makership. See our treasurer to make a donation.
  • Makership Application Deadline - Last day of each month @ 11:59 PM.

Equipment Report

  • The prusa repair is fully armed and operational
  • Earplugs are in the woodshop
  • Please make sure that you review the instructions and manual and ask for the training prior to using the equipment. Someone can get really hurt.
  • Please give me as much information as possible; i/e links to websites. Consumables are difficult to find sometimes and I am not a mind reader!
  • If your project doesn't fit on your shelf or in large member storage, please take it off site. The boneyard isn't your own personal storage shed.
  • Community safety is more important than your personal convenience.
