Probably the cheapest full access option on this list: full time membership runs about $40 a month, or $450 paid for a year, with a spouse or family member added for $10. Access is 24/7, the space is entirely volunteer run, and areas such as lasers, wood, metal and craft rooms are funded by member donations and group buys. New members are asked to come to an open meeting first, and joining can take a few weeks.
Fits patient hobbyists who like fixing and sharing as much as making, and who can supply their own leather hand tools. Equipment is largely donated, so quality swings from excellent to waiting for repair, and reviews mention broken machines and access hiccups. Anyone wanting polished service and scheduled classes will be happier paying more elsewhere.
