As many of you know, I have a large number of tools, including a small CNC-ready mill, full electronics workbench, shop air, 3d printer, power and hand tools. i also have a limited set of labware.
As somewhat fewer of you know, I will be moving up to northern california next month. up to now, this stuff has been trapped in my apartment, taking up approximately 1/3 of my apartment. With the move, comes an opportunity. My goal with this gear, which is about 30-40% owned by geekhackers.org, has always been to make it as available as possible to the geekhack community. Up until now, that has been pretty difficult, as I can’t really allow 24 hour access to my apartment :P.
Anyway, my idea is to move towards establishing a hackerspace in the SF Bay Area for us by us. It would have to operate on a subscription basis to pay for the space, with the kind of training system that is used at other hackerspaces. This space could also be used for geekhackers.org operations.
I know we have a pretty large contingent of bay area users. I’m also pretty acutely aware of how much space costs in the bay, so I would need buy-in from that pretty large contingent of users to get this going. Can people weigh in on this?
