A large community fabrication shop founded in 2010 and now based on Tyler Street in Somerville. Individual membership comes in part time and full time forms, paid monthly or discounted on six month and annual plans, and small company plans cost about $600 a month for three named people. The site is organized into shops with their own rules and safety sign offs, and members run much of it themselves, from staffing the desk to servicing machines.
Works for Boston area hobbyists who want a big shared space where leather can be combined with wood, metal and textiles for hardware, forms and cases. It is a license to use shared facilities, so storage, materials and machine time are handled by shop rules rather than personal ownership. Anyone hoping for a full leather bench with stamps and a clicker press should ask what is currently in the fiber and textiles area before joining.
Address: 10 Tyler St, Somerville, MA
