Hey David! Great to see you checking out the space again. Hope you like some of the recent changes. The welding area and woodshop are pretty impressive.

Hello Vanhack representative,

Following my phone conversation with Kevin at Vanhack, I am writing this enquiry post.

I am interested in using your facility for metal work( aluminium metal based prototype)
Me and my friend are well versed with machining and would like to use the machines- LATHE, MILLING and if possible, CNC

We are looking to use the place at the earliest and are ready to register as soon as you can confirm the availability. (Hopefully starting today)

Hoping to hear back soon.

Cheers!
Ashwin

Hi, My brother used to be a member of VHS and I am interested in joining in order to fix up some furniture for my place and some other small projects. Would it be possible to get a tour on Thursday (Feb 10th) preferably in the morning? Thanks

Hi @Ashwin_K! The way things usually work is when a new member joins, they will coordinate a training session with one of the “machine shop champions” to get up to speed on the manual lathe and/or the manual milling machine we have at VHS so that everyone can ensure safe operations of these tools. Unfortunately, due to the relatively small room size of the machine shop and concerns of working in close proximity during the pandemic, there has been a hold put on machine shop training for the last while. Now, as things seem to be starting to improve with the pandemic, I think we are hoping to see machine shop training restart. Since @Billiam is the only authorized machine shop trainer who is currently active, I might recommend messaging him directly to see what his availability might be in the coming weeks and sort out the fees involved. There is a hope to get a few more people checked out to be able to offer training in the near future, so there might be more options before too long, but things are only just now starting to get rolling as the hack space as a whole reconsiders COVID policies. I hope that answers your questions and look forward to seeing what you get up to at VHS!

Hi @emilyklich I can give you a tour on Thursday morning if you’d like. What time is good for you?

Hello Mike,

Thanks for your response.
I have been waiting to hear back from the responsible person- Billiam, to understand the timeline and other details.

So far, I have not gotten any response.

Regards,
Ashwin

@Laran_Kriese I’ll be here today until 9, and I’ll be here next Tuesday from 5 to 9 in the evening. I’ll also be at the space for most of the work day tomorrow, and on Thursday morning, if any of those times work for you.

Sure thing @KentBrockman are you visiting us from another Hack Space?
