Staunton Makerspace

Staunton Makerspace The Makerspace is a non-profit organization focusing on innovation, collaboration, and creativity. We hope to establish a location in Downtown Staunton.

We ensure affordable tools, training, and resources are available to the community for personal growth, career advancement and entrepreneurship. "Makerspaces typically provide access to materials, tools, and technologies to allow for hands-on exploration and participatory learning. They are occasionally referred to as fablabs, hackerspaces or tech shops." -- oedb.org/ilibrarian/a-librarians-guide-

to-makerspaces/

I tend of think of MakerSpaces are modern libraries where you can get hands-on access to technology that is not widely available, such as 3D printers and Computer controlled Routers. It's also a place to get access to people with real expertise in electonics, manufacturing, art, and programming. A delightful collision of skills and expertise that could help us experiment successfully. We are working to establish (and would welcome contact from) local educational groups and organizations.

First Project Complete! 🎉

Huge shout out to Nathanael for completing his very first project at the Staunton Makerspace!

Using the band saw, Nathanael crafted this beautiful set of walnut utensils—a fantastic introduction to shaping, control, and fine woodworking skills. 🌰🪚

We love seeing new makers turn raw wood into something functional and beautiful. Nicely done, Nathanael, we can’t wait to see what you build next!

Tools Have Feelings Too!!

Our tools have been VERY good this year.
(Some of them are tired. Some are missing parts. Some would really love a friend.) 😂

This holiday season, consider gifting the Staunton Makerspace something from our wishlist, because nothing says “holiday cheer” like a well-loved drill getting an upgrade. We just received two gifts from our wishlist this week and we were so excited, both were things we had just been discussing we needed the week before. We all cheered when we opened the Amazon box!

✨ Your generosity keeps creativity alive in Staunton!
