Tiny House!
Check out Aiden and Meghan's tiny home project. They built the doors and most of the interior over months of time at DMS. Aiden always found creative ways to add detail in the woodworking.
It makes my house look pretty lame by comparison.
Great work!

Joe Says:
Progress is being made! Thursday nights 5:30-7:30 are our MakerSpace group work sessions. They have been helpful at making quick progress. Also, many folks have offered a hand outside of those times as well.
Cave update: Within our new additional building a small bouldering cave is coming to life! The exercise room is nearly complete. The bike shop still needs cleaning, the craft areas need outfitting, and RC is mostly complete. It's starting to look like a fun place to be! Note: private member rooms/offices are up for grabs yet. Contact me if you're interested.
DMS update: a long term roof patch has been applied that should prevent all leaks on over half of our old building.
