Bristol Hackspace

Phew! Thats the open day wrapped up, volunteers well fed, and myself falling asleep on the sofa. A huge welcome to the 83 new members, and a massive thank you to all the volunteers who helped through the day. See you next time!

First half of the open day has been incredible, we weren't expecting this response but it's been amazing to see so many people show up to join our community! Volunteers are taking a break before the chaos begins again for the next slot!

We are sold out on the early session! Limited tickets for the afternoon still available! www.ticketsource.com/bristol-hack...

We're holding another open day! Tickets are already up and already over halfway gone! August 2nd, 1pm start! www.ticketsource.com/booking/cate...

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.

If in the future we had more space, What would you do with it? We want your ideas! If we gained more space, what new workshop or creative area would you love to see at the Hackspace? Share your dream additions below!

We’re proud to be a community built by our community for our community, where creativity and collaboration come together. We celebrate diversity and committed to fostering a inclusive environment where everyone can contribute fully. Each member plays a key part in creating a space that reflects this

Not sure if your tire tread is getting too shallow? Print yourself a handy Tire Tread Depth Gauge by VC Design – it lets you quickly check both summer and winter tires, and it’s small enough to keep on your keychain. 🔑 www.printables.com/model/136172...

It our open evening tonight! Despite the record number of sign ups on the open day, tickets still sold out fairly quickly. We're looking into increasing the frequency of our open evenings so please keep an eye on our "visit us" page and our ticketsource link!

Laser room (formally CNC room) has been rearranged and looks amazing. Don't worry, the CNC mill will return after we're finished playing musical workshops.

We now have a fediverse presence! You can find it and our other social media presence on our linktree, in bio or conveniently located for you here! linktr.ee/bristolhacks...

With the current number of reserved tickets sitting at 65, I'm going into overdrive to make keyrings today. We'll have more being produced on the day but this should be enough to tide over the initial horde. Hopefully people don't all turn up at 11...
