Tour Requests from Non-members (or new members!)

running a little late today, will be down around 5:30

Wonderful! I’ll be heading down there shortly. Thanks again!

Good morning all!

I (like many others I’m sure!) have moved into a significantly smaller housing arrangement and no longer have access to working space. I have an old 70s VW van that I have been working on making whole again and was hoping I can get a tour of the space to check out the rad space and the sweet people. Also hoping that a tour could clarify a few questions (in the future, would it be possible to temporarily take the welding equipment curb side to install patch panels?) Are tours only on Tuesdays or are there other potential days one could drop in?

Thank you and very excited to be a part of the community!

Hey @hakunomatatta I’m not going to be in at the space and able to give a tour any time in the immediate future, but I can speak to your welding question. The MIG welder can be wheeled out into the alley on an extension cord, and we have screens to make safe for passersby. We own 10’ of asphalt behind the building, so you can work there without the city giving you grief. The TIG/stick unit is a shop princess, by design, and doesn’t leave the building, but could reach into the alley. The van could probably be rolled into the large project area at the back of the shop, if you wanted to do some tasks indoors.

I think a bunch of people are kind of hunkering down to delay omicron exposure at the moment, so you might have to wait till tuesday. In the mean time, if you have any other questions, I’d be happy to answer them for you. We have a LOT of van conversion people in the community, you’ll be in good company.
