My capabilities just skyrocketed!
« on: June 01, 2016, 01:43:48 pm »
So, I've already mentioned that I started a new job about a month ago.  It's better pay, better hours, and benefits.  All around a better job.  This upgrade in pay is allowing me to get a TechShop membership.

Say hello to my little friend!


That is a 4'x8' ShopBot CNC router.  TechShop also uses VCarve, so all those lovely CNC files from ClassicArcadeCabinets.com are usable.  Slippy is gonna have some fun!

The metal shop is nuts as well.  A complete sheet metal shop, brakes, welders, shears, even powder coating bays.  I see nice new metal control panels in my future as well.

Where is the TechShop at, and how much is the membership?

Backside of Chandler, out near ASU Polytech I believe.  Month to month is $150, but there are discounts if you can do multi-month.  Considering the tools available, I feel it's worth it.
