Makespace is a community workshop in Cambridge, filled with different equipment from 3D printers, Laser Cutters, CNC Routers and Lathes to sewing, crafting and electronics tools. Members get 24/7 access to the space for £40/month - see http://makespace.org

This survey is to help understand the interest and volunteer effort available for bringing proper metalworking capabilities to Makespace assuming suitable space could be secured. Please feel free to share this with anyone in the Cambridge area that would be interested in Metalworking facilities if Makespace had them, whether they are currently a member or not.

We are collecting your email address for the purposes of contacting you further related to this subject; things like equipment and use case questions, following up on offers of help etc. You will not be added to a general mailing list.

We'll keep the http://makespace.org/metalwork page updated as we learn more

It takes a lot of initial volunteer effort to plan, meet h&s requirements, choose machines, prepare a space, install equipment and get it ready for use. It ranges from physical DIY (building partition walls/supporting infrastructure, painting, installing etc) to operational work (planning, working with suppliers, risk assessments, writing training etc). Could you help with getting the metalwork capabilities in place? *

Yes, I could offer a lot of dedicated effort to help make this happen (many evenings/weekends)

Yes, I could offer a bit of effort to help make this happen (one or two evenings/weekends)

No, I'm not in a position to be able to help unfortunately

It then takes significant ongoing volunteer effort to train members and maintain machines. Without this, it is not worth investing in the capabilities as it is important they are accessible to members if we do get them. Could you help support the ongoing training requirements?

Yes, I am experienced and would be happy to run training once a month

Yes, I would need to learn first, but then would be happy to run training once a month

No, I wouldn't be able to help with training unfortunately

What is your membership status? *

I am already a Makespace Member, and it would be great if metalworking was available

I was planning to become a Makespace Member in the next 6 months anyway, but metalworking makes it even more attractive

I have no plans to become a Makespace Member, but would do if metalworking was available

Thanks for all your input and potential offers of help! Is there anything else you would like to add?
