My name is Skippy. I am moving to the area. I have been lightly involved with Hackspaces in London and Swindon, and would like to continue that involvement :). I am currently building a Tantillus 3D printer (details on my blog at http://skippy.org.uk)
Currently we are re plumbing our boat, and will be moving from Chirk on the Llangollen as soon as we can.
Thanks for emailing. Welcome to the Northwest! Please come down to
the hackspace in Manchester when you get time. We are based in the
Northern quarter of Manchester on Edge Street (No.44). Our open
evening is currently on Wednesday from 19:00 but there are people
there at other times…mostly after 17:00 on weekdays and over the
weekend currently when one of the key holders gets in! We are working
on day access for people but as we have only been in this space a
month there are still some issues to work out.
We are quite similar in operation to most of the other hackspaces -
its a community based workshop with tools and equipment where people
can socialise, make things and relax. We have most of the kit you
might find in a hackspace - all you should need to get up and running.
Cheers
Alex
P.S. Also of interest may be that we currently hold a 3d printer
group on Mondays nights from 19:00 at the Madlab which is just down
the road. The main man to contact is Bob Clough - who also happens to
be one of the primary members of the Hackspace!
