Hi my name is Rachel and I’m a sculptor. I just joined to space and I was wondering how I go about being allowed to use the wood shop and metal shop. I am quite knowledgeable in wood shop machinery but I know very little in the metal shop equipment.
Hey Rachel - great to have you at VHS! Are you on slack yet? That’s a great place to connect with woodshop folks and get answers to questions like this.
To request a slack invite:
- log in to your membership profile at Nomos
- in the left hand nav, click on “get involved”
- fill in details to request a slack invite.
Cheers
Welcome!
VHS is the best, but it can be hard to coordinate getting approved on everything.
There’s two “metal” areas, welding and milling. The welding queen is @Metal_Janet, if that’s the area you meant. Find her on slack and here.
Hi Rachel,
If you want a welding-fabrication shop orientation and/or lessons, let me know! For the machine shop, your best bet is to ask on the #machine-shop channel on Slack.
Welcome!
thanks Janet I will do that
thank you for the help!
Hi Janet I would love to take you up on that! let me know what days work good for you

Hi Janet,
I met you last month to discuss an art project involving functioning guillotines. I’m having trouble navigating this page/chat function, and apologize if replying to an unrelated post isn’t the best way to contact you. I can’t see to DM you. Please message me if possible?
