 ===Can I Make My Thing The First Time I visit?===
-Not necessarily. The Open Shop nights give you the chance to tour the shop, meet members, and see what the Bodgery is like in practice. You can use the space and our hand tools immediately. Most of our power tools require you to be checked off by an Area Captain,and our more complicated machines require training (laser cutters, welders, machining equipment, etc).  If your first visit happens to coincide with the Area Captain/Trainer you need, then you should still have time to use them on your first visit.  More often, it will take a second visit, after scheduling a check-off/training.

+Once checked off or trained, you're welcome to use those tools anytime you visit another Open Shop!
