They've been working on these all month. There's four panels in total and he's working on making the eyes light up and more parts move.

The great thing (to me at least) is he said that was his fourth iteration on the actuator in the back. Now instead of being jealous thinking he did this perfectly on the first try, I can be jealous of his perseverance and creativity in solving the problem 👍

What happens when teens trade their phones for the wood shop? 🪚

These teenagers spent a week at @asmblyaustin cutting metal, working the wood shop, and applying real-world math to build beautiful side tables from scratch! They left exhausted, but the pride they gained from their hard work is unmatched. Look at the incredible furniture they built in this video! What was the first thing you ever built with your own hands? Tell us below!

How does a massive makerspace keep track of how to use thousands of tools? 🛠️📚

Valerie Wilmot explains how @asmblyaustin manages its educational resources through a community driven wiki database. Every tool in the space has a dedicated page with manuals and class requirements. Because documentation is a monumental task and the organization operates primarily as a volunteer-run community, they rely heavily on their own members to contribute to the wiki and share knowledge.

Just like ASMBLY empowers local makers, we love empowering these organizations with a megaphone. Tune in to our “Community Partners Chat” broadcasting locally on @koopradio Radio 91.7 FM every 4th Thursday to hear more stories like this, or watch the full visual interview on the Keep Austin Neighborly, KOOP Radio, or ASMBLY Makerspace YouTube channels.

What makes a community workspace truly magical? It’s the diverse mix of people using it.

ASMBLY Makerspace Executive Director Galen Wixson shares how their shop attracts everyone from fine craftsmen to entrepreneurs and prototypers. While their end goals vary wildly, from building elaborate custom furniture to launching a new business, they all share a common need for professional tools. By fulfilling that need, ASMBLY empowers a level of high quality craftsmanship that goes far beyond run of the mill projects.

This was my first time replacing the spoil board on the Laguna Swift 5’x10′ CNC. Apparently it has a lot of... "history" under all that MDF 😳
Luckily, as long as the gasket is in place the vacuum works so 🤷‍♂️

If you're near Austin and want to get a beginners course in using a CNC router, check out the class schedule at Asmbly. Link in the bio 🔗
