Programs & membership

What each shop will offer, and roughly how access might work.

Everything on this page — descriptions, tiers, and every dollar figure — is an early planning draft, not a final offer. Nothing here is bookable or binding yet.
W

Wood shop

Table saws, planers, routers, and hand tools for furniture building, home repairs, and general woodworking. Safety certification required before unsupervised use of major equipment.

M

Metal shop

Welding stations and metalworking equipment for fabrication, repair, and small-scale projects. Certification-gated, same as the wood shop.

A

Auto bay

A vehicle lift and workspace for doing your own maintenance and repairs, with an experienced hand nearby if you get stuck.

S

Sew shop

Sewing machines, sergers, and workspace for garment work, mending, and pattern-based projects.

T

Tool library

Check out hand tools, power tools, and yard equipment for a project at home, the way you'd borrow a book.
