Sage Makers is a not-for-profit project taking shape in Gunnison, CO — a place to build, fix, learn, and borrow the tools you don't use often enough to own.
Get in touch See planned programsPeople here already ask to borrow tools, or to be taught how to use them. Sage Makers is the answer to that — a shared shop for woodworking, metalworking, sewing, and auto repair, plus a library of hand and power tools you can check out instead of buying.
The goal isn't profit. It's a gift to the town: a place for people of any age or income to build real skills, taught by locals who already have them.
Five areas, one building. Each one will be its own small shop with its own instructors.
Hand and power tools for furniture, repairs, and general woodworking.
Welding and metalworking equipment for fabrication and repair.
A lift and a place to work on your own vehicle, with guidance on hand.
Machines and space for sewing, mending, and pattern work.
Check out hand tools, power tools, and yard equipment like you would a book.
We're spending this year building the plan before opening any doors. If you'd want to volunteer, teach a skill, lend a hand, or just get updates as this comes together, say hello.
