Clicked on this episode of BoingBoing TV and the mouse nearly got away from me. TechShop is a fully-equipped open-access workshop and creative environment that lets you drop in any time and work on your own projects at your own pace. The facility is equipped with just about every machine for making/hacking/fixing things you could possibly imagine. Laser-cutters, 3d printing, silkscreening, vinyl cutting, circuit board printing, vacuum forming, injection molding, metal forge, automotive diagnostics, engine and transmission removal… the list goes on. Everything is do-it-yourself and they will teach you how. Holy crap, this is huge. Let’s go make things!

Located in Menlo Park, CA. Nine more locations will be opening across the U.S. including Los Angeles. See you there.
