Frequently Asked Questions

You asked, we answered. Again. And again. So we put it up here, and pointed silently at this page…

What Does 'Bodgery' Mean, Anyway?

“To Bodge” is a British term, meaning “To make or repair hastily; to McGyver; to hack together; to jury rig”.

What Is A Makerspace?

A makerspace, aka hackerspace, is a shared community workshop, where members and guests can use amazing tools, learn how to build almost anything, and find camaraderie doing so. In our case, we're democratically run, with our membership operating the ship. We are a friendly community of tinkerers, makers, hackers, educators, scientists, artists and crafters, and we welcome anyone who is, aspires to be, or just wants to hang around with folks like us!

Do I Have To Be A Member To Use The Shop?

No, but you may only use the shop for free when it is open to the public. One of the perks of membership is 24/7 access. Check our Calendar for scheduled events.

May I Bring My Child?

Yes. We have a “Kids' Shelf” with maker activities for the younger ones. Keep in mind that it is a shop with tools and projects that sometimes involve fumes, hot things, and sharp things. It may not be the safest place for very young children unless diligently watched.
