This place looks rad.

Anyone been there? I might need to gather some supplies and try a day pass.

Unless they've added more equipment, don't believe the hype: https://www.i-club.com/forums/showth...light=techshop

I'm not interested in that place for working on a car. I can do that at work. There are a million other things that I can't do without a garage that I've been able to do in the past. Stuff like welding, using a lathe, etc.

Looks like they have a rapid prototyping machine, CNC machines and other cool fab toys.

That place looks awesome, it would take yearrrrrs to learn how to use all that stuff

if you have any CAD drawings or any work you want done, my uncles have a Machine Shop in MV. They have like 10 big machines to carve out anything.

They need your business too

I have a guy that I send my stuff to, but being able to go there and use some of the stuff for small jobs and stuff I want to try would be awesome.

I really want to go check the place out despite the bad reviews.

Looks like my work....but my work is free. That 3d printer is nifty for modeling parts before you spend time and money on making one out of aluminum or other.
