One of our volunteers has been working on refurbishing a chair that was donated. He stripped and sanded it down then applied the stain. Now we need to seal it and get the wheels back on. Looking good!

This is a necklace made of resin that one of our employees made as a proposal gift for their fiancé. Congratulations!

The Lacey MakerSpace has the resources to make molds out of silicon to use for casting resin. In the past we've made dice, bowls, and jewelry. What would you like to make? Leave a comment!

This is Jacob Lyon, he's our lead shop assistant and has been working here for about 3 months now. Jacob used to work at a manufacturing shop but wanted to work somewhere more community orientated, and the Lacey MakerSpace caught his eye. With his knowledge and experience in machining, he has been a great addition to the team. He says he has enjoyed meeting all the members and volunteers so far and can't wait to meet more. Glad to have you aboard, Jacob!

Last Tuesday, the 13th, was the first class of the 9-week Stained Glass course. Attendees picked out their vintage glassware for their centerpiece and drew out their panel design. We're excited to see their creations come to life with each step!

This is a project that Nathan and Jacob have been working on for a future class. They 3D printed a special fitting to secure the wood with a vacuum hose rather than physical clamps. With it secured in place, the CNC router can route out the shape and add customizations to it.
Can you guess what's being made here?

Our director, Michelle, made this lovely gift for a family member. We documented the process from creating the 3D model design, to sending it to the CNC plasma cutter, then the final finished result!
You, too, can make gifts and signs like these at the Lacey MakerSpace. One way to start is to sign up for our CNC plasma cutting class which is offered every other week. This Saturday is our soonest available class so be sure to sign up!

We had a blast and learned a lot during our very first Intermediate welding course, as part of the "Skill" series we offer.
Look out for the next one being held on October 5th, 6 pm, where we will be focusing on TIG welding.

A big thanks to Daniel Schepers of Elite Welding and Design. He's a great teacher!

One of our new members, Rae, found an old wok and decided to repurpose it into a birdbath. She welded on the legs and added some decorative leaves as well. This picture shows her polishing it up. Looks great!

Lacey MakerSpace was honored to host staff working

Lacey MakerSpace was honored to host staff working with U.S. Senator Patty Murray recently. Senator Murray’s Legislative Director Ben Merkel and South Sound Director Christine Nhan (also a proud SMU Alumnae), dropped by our space to learn about developments since receiving our $1M Cares Act grant last September. It was great to be able to show Mr. Merkel and Ms. Nhan some of the amazing new equipment we’re starting to receive as part of this grant, as well as details on our building expansion and plans to create new workforce training opportunities in the coming months. Lacey MakerSpace is grateful for Senator Murray’s support, as well as the continued support from our founding partners, the EDC/CB&I, SMU, and the City of Lacey.
