Message-ID: <YViOuixn/os5EqdM@begriffs.com>

Hey all, I visited TC Maker during an open house on Weds. Wanted to see
what state it's in, because I heard they were doing renovation on the
classroom.

They're going really strong right now, with their highest membership of
all time. More tools, a totally new woodshop, a lathe room, more lasers
etc. If you like building physical things you should check it out.

However I don't think it's a place where we could ever hold another
hardcore hacknight. The classroom is being removed to make room for more
laser stuff. The little computer room in the front is converted
completely to 3D printing, with exhaust ductwork going all over. And in
the basement they found asbestos in the floor and in those big tables.

Paint asbestos and leave it be.  Though for those silly ppl they feel the
need to remove the great fire retardant I would be glad 10yrs so when I did
asbestos mitigation. That's a bummer though.  Great news for TC makers
space.  I wonder if they let the printers run all night.
