"What Do YOU Want To Make?
TechShop is a fully-equipped open-access workshop and creative
environment that lets you drop in any time and work on your own
projects at your own pace. It is like a health club with tools and
equipment instead of exercise equipment...or a Kinko's for geeks.
TechShop was founded in 2006 by Jim Newton, a lifetime maker, veteran
BattleBots builder and former MythBuster. TechShop is located in
Menlo Park, California, on the San Francisco peninsula 25 miles south
of San Francisco.
Anyone can come in and build and make all kinds of things themselves
using the TechShop tools, machines and equipment, and draw on the
TechShop instructors and experts to help them with their projects.
TechShop is designed for everyone, regardless of their skill level.
TechShop is perfect for inventors, "makers", hackers, tinkerers,
artists, roboteers, families, entrepreneurs, youth groups, FIRST
robotic teams, arts and crafts enthusiasts, and anyone else who wants
to be able to make things that they dream up but don't have the tools,
space or skills.
The TechShop workshop provides a wide variety of machinery and tools
for the open and unlimited use of its members, including milling
machines and lathes, welding stations and plasma cutters, sheet metal
working equipment, drill presses and band saws, industrial sewing
machines, hand tools, plastic working equipment, electronics design
and fabrication facilities, tubing and metal bending machines,
electrical supplies and tools, and pretty much everything you'd ever
need to make just about anything all by yourself.
TechShop is for EVERYONE! If you already know how to use all the stuff
at TechShop, that's great. But most people only know how to use a few
of the tools, machines and equipment at TechShop. If you want to learn
about the equipment and tools you have never used before, you can take
a short group "Building Block" class to get up to speed in about an
hour, or take a more in-depth class on any subject to learn about it
more fully. Don't be afraid to try new things, no matter if it is
welding, using a milling machine, working with fabrics and leather or
plastics, or cutting keyways in a gear. The whole point of TechShop is
to enable you with a wide variety of new capabilities so you can start
to see the pathway that lets you make new and exciting things."
