Re: bike welding -- Another working group of the U-C IMC is the Bike Project -- *Lots* of raw materials over there for making mutant bikes. I can do brazing right now. Have done steel stick welding<br>in the past, but don't own my own rig at the moment. Cheers, -Stewart<br>

Hello, James, Thanks for contacting us. We are fairly informal in our membership. We let you "try before you buy." Paid membership will get you a key to Studio 16 at the UC-IMC, where the MakerSpace is located. We don't have cubicles or designated member storage areas. I'm forwarding this to the <div>
imc-makerspace e-mail discussion list @<a href="http://lists.chambana.net" target="_blank">lists.chambana.net</a>, for more suggestions for you, possibly.</div><div>You can register at <a href="http://lists.chambana.net" target="_blank">http://lists.chambana.net</a> We are in the midst of our Summer Make-Ation workshop series</div>

I will be moving to your town in a few months, and was very excited to find out about the makerspace! I enjoy working on projects that span a range of activities like; Arduino and electronics, 3d printing (just built a MakerGear kit), High Voltage hacks, Linux and computer programming, bike welding, homebrewing, wood working, <span>amateur</span> science, etc. It will be great to talk with others who have common interests. <br>
<br>I was wondering if I could chat with someone involved with the space in the next couple of weeks, before I visit the town in mid-June. I'd like to find out a bit more about your organization and the area (I'd be happy to call or Skype at your convenience). Are you an open or fee-based makerspace? What sorts of plans do you have? Are there other groups in the area (like a DIY-Bio group)? Also, I was wondering if you might have any advice on how difficult it is to find a shed or other small area to set up as a workshop, as I am trying to decide if I should look for a place to live that has a garage or shed, or how much it might cost to rent a workshop space. Does your makerspace rent cubicles or storage areas? <br>
<br>Thanks a ton, look forward to meeting you and seeing the space,<br><br> James H. <br><br>
