ROOF FUNDRAISING COMPLETE! (Wednesday, Aug 21st - Mike )

    Our fundraising for the new roof is complete. We set a goal of $82,550.00 and when we were within $3200.00 of our goal a member secured a pledge from a local business owner to cover that amount. In the meantime checks continued to arrive at DMS and we ended up raising $83,380.00. The surplus will go to support our mission either by seeding our next capital improvement or tool upgrade.


   
    Thanks to everyone who supports us through their generous donations, time, and/or dues. We would not survive without you.
   

Donate Your Menard's Rebate Receipts To Support Duluth MakerSpace (Saturday, May 18th - Mike )

    Duluth MakerSpace would love to have your unclaimed Menard's rebate receipts. We will aggregate them, claim them, and use the rebates to help support our mission.

Roof Update (Thursday, Apr 25th - Mike )

    We are in the process of seeking bids for the roof work. If you know someone we should speak with, please message Mike (mikeolson@duluthmakerspace.com). Once we have bids in place we will have an idea if our fundraising will completely meet the need, or if we can go further with building repairs.

Event: Wood Shop Improvment (6:00pm-6:00pm)[$0]
The woodshop needs some love.

My intent is to discuss layout, do a little cleaning and organizing and have it ready for the Lincoln Park Business Group meeting on the 12th. This is an opportunity for the MakerSpace to show off to both business owners (who promote other entities in our part of town) and the City (the Mayor is supposed to attend).

It will also give us a chance to straighten things out so paths are better for walking, wheelchairs and carts. And we will have an opportunity to talk about potential shop improvements.

It's a great time to get to know other DMS members.

Pizza will be served.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What is a MakerSpace?
A: A Cooperative Workshop, run like a fitness gym, where a monthly membership pays for shared access to tech tools, electronics, woodshop, metalshop, techshop, crafts, classrooms, fabrics, etc! Similar places have been sprouting up across the country. They are a real community asset driving innovation, education and cooperation. Our biggest asset is the other members.
Q: Who is running this?
A: A loose knit group of about 30 very enthusiastic member-volunteers who aspire to endlessly improve and creatively use our 11,000sqft building. Over half of the equipment is on loan or donated from members! The remainder is currently privately funded to keep us well stocked.
Q: How long have you been running?
A: We bought the building end of 2014, and volunteers have been tirelessly working on improving the space since then. We had our grand opening September 17th, 2016.
Q: Who is the place for?
A: All ages (18+ for non-class-based solo access), Women and Men, Anyone who is curious, who wants to learn new things from enthusiastic people. Anyone who is artistic or otherwise creatively inclined. Anyone who likes to create things but may not have room at home for all the various tools needed. Anyone wanting to take or teach classes on a wide range of subject matters.
Q: Do you have tool X or can you support hobby X at the shop?
A: If we do not already have the tools we will look into finding a way to integrate it into our offerings. We encourage you to help us gear up and teach the equipment! Our equipment list is helpful.
