Sure and a huge pole barn and some acreage. Not a problem. I think I'll go eat some cake.

Let's see....As long as I'm dreamin', I'll have carrot cake with French Vanilla ice cream. That chocolate sounds real good though. RE: Maker space - T.J. - 02-01-2019 Last year, I had to put my shop into storage for several months and live in an apartment while I looked for a new place. It drove me a little nuts not having a shop, so I looked into the local "maker space" here in Little Rock. It really ended up a huge waste of time. The reason? Even after I completed the safety course (not needed for me, but I understood the legal reasoning), they insisted that someone would have to use some tools FOR ME. I'd have to ask someone to cross cut a blasted 2x4 on the miter saw FOR ME. I didn't bother pursuing it. The few guys running it also seemed to treat it like their own personal, closed-circle club, getting actionable sign-up information was way too hard and the place was a mess. I'm sure there are plenty of maker spaces that work well, but ours is a joke. Instead, I set up a tiny bench in the apartment storage closet and did a few small projects outside. |
