Tour Requests: Curious about Vancouver Hackspace? Come check it out!

Hey, apologies to everyone who’s message we missed.

Hackspace is in general not affected by holidays and you can always find current hours on the events calendar.

The space will be open all day (8am to 5pm) on Sunday and you’re welcome to come in for a tour of that works for any of you.

We’re always open on Tuesday evenings, even if we forget to respond on this thread. :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi, My partner and I are lookig for a tour on Tuesday 28th at 1pm. We are looking to build a bookshelf.

@deepti_diwan Our Open House on tuesday nights usually start around 4:30pm. There’s a chance someone’s around at that time so ring the doorbell if the door is locked. If no one answers you can try again later in the day.

Thank you.

Hello!

I will be visiting Vancouver on Thursday (November 27th) from Kelowna, and I’m really interested in touring this space to see the facilities and tools available. I’m really interested in starting a space like this near me and would love to learn more about the history of VHS.

Best,

Obi

Hey :waving_hand:,

I JUST found out about this space from one of my colleagues. Very sorry about the late request but Im wondering if anyone will be around the shop today (Tuesday Dec.2nd) ?

Thanks in advance,

Aleksey

Today Tuesday is Open House day. Open from 4:30 - 9pm

Hope you come by!

Hey, I’m thinking about joining y’all. I’ll probably try to come by tomorrow to see the space, but would particularly like to chat with a member that helps organize safety and tool use/training in the metal shop. Can anyone point me to who I should talk to?

Hi folks! Longtime lurker/admirer of VHS, and tentatively thinking I may be able to afford a membership soon. Unfortunately, I am working the next several Tuesday evenings - is there any availability for a tour/intro on, say, Friday Dec 12th or 19th?

I’m a queer neurodivergent maker, artist, and youth worker. Looking for space to do my silly little projects and hopefully make friends who share my passion for puppets, vintage toys/tech, sewing, collage, or the other obsessive tangents I may have in my life.

I’m on Instagram (and Neopets ;3) under this username. I also have a Neocities site but I broke the code somehow so that has yet to be revealed. :black_heart:

Hi @furbycoven!

I will be around on the evening of the 19th and am happy to give you a tour. (I’ll probably be there around 6:30.)

I make a lot of stuffed animals, so I bet we have overlapping interests.

@bandedironically I hope you made it in. If not, feel free to also come by on Friday :slightly_smiling_face:

Hey- I am new to soldering and am hoping someone can show me basic operations of the soldering station. I have a small board that needs a connector soldered onto it. Will be popping by today (Dec 30)

Hello VHS pals! I am trying to organize a tour for myself and some other folks (right now it’s looking like 3-5 people) from the Bike Kitchen. We were hoping to ride over on February 16th if there’s an opportunity to do so :slight_smile: > We’d also love to have folks come and visit our space at UBC and check out the work and programs we’re doing.
