Our Space

The exterior of the West Bethel Makerspace

Where ideas and community come together.

A workshop with various tools and equipment, including a saw and workbenches, in a bright room with a large window and exposed wooden beams on the ceiling.

Woodshop

Members have access to a professional-grade mix of stationary and portable tools, including a cabinetry-grade Saw Stop table saw, Shapeoko CNC, band saw, 12.5” thickness planer, 6” jointer, drill press, router, sanders, and a wide range of handheld power tools and clamps. Large work surfaces and thoughtful layout make it easy to move from concept to assembly without friction.

Designed for both seasoned craftspeople and members learning new skills. Minimum age 16. Anyone 16-18 must be accompanied by a parent.

A workspace with unfinished wooden tables on wheels, some with electronic equipment, in a room with a large window showing bare trees outside and furnaces on the walls.

The digital fabrication lab is a flexible, hands-on space for turning ideas into physical things. The lab features state-of-the-art tools, including SNAP Maker 3D, Ender 3D printer and Makerbot 3D printer, as well as an electronics workstation.

From one-off projects to small production runs, members use this space to create signs, models, custom parts, prototypes, enclosures, and more.

It’s an ideal environment for designers, engineers, artists, educators, and entrepreneurs looking to experiment, prototype, or produce without owning expensive equipment themselves.
