The Akron Makerspace has separate departments based on category. Our first workshop introduction is for our wood lab! This area is the most heavily used department in our makerspace, and therefore has the most space to create. We have almost all of the standard wood working tools and equipment you would expect to find in any wood shop, in addition to some notable equipment that’s highlighted in this post!
Our Wood CNC machine is one of the more complex pieces of equipment we have in the department.
Our wood lab also features plenty of open workspace for members to use.
We’re also excited to be able to offer our membership training and use of our wood turning equipment, which includes two wood lathes and the tools to accompany them.
Another piece of equipment we have available for use in our wood lab is a panel saw that was graciously donated by a local @loweshomeimprovement that no longer needed it due to their store upgrading their lumber yard equipment.
Overall, our woodworkers have a pretty robust wood lab to put to use, so come check out the changes and upgrades we’re looking at doing! Can you picture yourself making something in our wood lab?
If you’d like to schedule a tour of our space, please email info@akronmakerspace.org
Happy Making!
