We're not fooling around!

You can make so many neat and useful things at the Makerspace it's mindblowing. Maker Mike made this quick custom bracket to mount his docking station so that the big pile of heavy cables are now under his desk, instead of on top of it. It took him 10 minutes to design and an hour to print for a major improvement.

We aren't joking that a membership here can be life-changing. For more information about becoming a member at the Cedar Valley Makerspace check out our website at cedarvalleymakers.org/memberships

CVM Maker Paul had some fun making these beautiful wine racks. Lots of sanding involved, but definitely worth it for the final product! We know who we want to be hanging out with on the weekends

The Cedar Valley Makerspace get requests to share the post processor we wrote that works with VCARVE for the plasma. The latest request was from a high school in Wisconsin. The teacher was super excited and shared their first project with us (pictured).

We love it when makers can share knowledge and can spread that to the younger generation!
