Have you every wanted to build a project, but could not find the
tool you needed to do it? TechShop is a large membership-based workshop that
provides members with access to tools and equipment, instruction, and a
creative and supportive community of like-minded people so you can build the
things you have always wanted to make.
The First Techshop ( http://www.techshop.ws ) was opened in 2006 in
Menlo Park. A new Techshop facility is openning in Portland. (
http://portland.techshop.ws ) They have recently made progress on a lease in
Beaverton and are looking at potential satellite sites.
There has been discussion for several years around the idea of
something like this in the Corvallis area. I have talked to Denny Cole, the
person coordinating the Portland Techshop. He is willing to come down to
corvallis and give a presentation about Techshop and discuss the
possibilities of something like this in Corvallis.
My goal is to see if we have critical mass that would make it
possible for us to develop and support a local Techshop. If you are
interested, please go
to http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/1165283/?ps=5 and sign up for attending
the meeting and sign up for the mailing list
at http://groups.google.com/group/corvallis-techshop
In addition, please pass this on to folks that you believe are
interested in a capability like this.
