This gothic lantern was built in the space using our laser cutter and workshop facilities, with layered wood construction and LED lighting.

A brilliant example of what happens when people have access to shared tools, time, and encouragement.

There will be an #EMFcamp night market again in 2026. The night market is really great for small independent businesses who are looking to get more exposure! Highly recommend - 5 stars 🌟😛

Ballarat Springfest 2025 is over, and it went better than we ever could have expected. Despite bucketing rain and wind threatening to turn gazebos into kites, we got through it intact and had an incredible turnout. Thanks for visiting if you did, and don't forget to drop into the space and say hi.

Have had a couple of frustrating days trying to sort out motive power for our Hacky Racer. We used to have a differential taken from a mobility scooter at the rear but Andy has machined a gearbox that allows us to run twin motors, partly "because it's there" and also we broke two diffs.
