Xerocraft Hackerspace - Trying to see if we can get this Dyson to work - Specialty Schools Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

What a fantastic place for building stuff! My dad first learned about Xerocraft when he needed to rent a particular type of woodworking machinery, only to learn that he could come in to the shop and use it. They have a massive wood shop full of tools and machines, so whether you're an experienced woodworker who needs to use something special, or if you're new to building stuff, it's a great place to check out. The laser cutter is super cool! You can cut or etch a variety of materials, including wood and acrylic, using your own designs on the computer. They have a ton of 3d printers, so if you need to make a weird little part for something, minis for your D&D game, or anything else, they're happy to show you how to run the equipment and get you going. If you want to be prepared to rebuild after the zombie apocalypse, you can even learn how to weld! I have no idea when I would ever need to know how to do it, but I wanted to learn, so I attended a Thursday night class and got hands-on practice, and now I could build an epic Mad Max battle wagon if I felt like it! There's also WTF nights (womens, trans, femme) where folks get together for all sorts of neat projects. If you join their Facebook group, you can see what events are coming up. If you want to get started, your best bet is to send an email message so you can set up a meeting with a staffer/volunteer who can show you the ropes and get you set up to work safely. The hours can be a bit odd, but all the folks I've worked with have been very helpful, and they'll make sure to take care of you. read more

Ive had an incredible experience making jewelry at Xerocraft the last few weeks. Lisa, Mark, and Heather, all volunteers and instructors at the studio have encouraged and inspired me to begin my metal smithing journey. The workshopz/classes offered have been both rewarding and an informative experience. Way worth the value. Heather's cuff class was amazing! we made 3 cuffs, and she even worked with me to arrange the time and accommodate my vision. There was never a dumb questio; her passion is palpable. Mark took all of his time Volunteering to generously and patiently help me pursue my first project. He taught me the basics, and encouraged me to chase my jewelry dreams! his generous time and care really helped me. Lisa is another charismatic artist and teacher. She is a natural leader and teacher. her workshop was thoughtful, and I learn a lit of basic soldering and crafting skills from her! I'm addicted. it's official. Xerocraft has so much to offer with the nicest staff! Highly recommend to anyone! read more

Friendly space with nice folks. I came in tonight to get help with a behringer mixer that wasn't working well. I got the board out of the case and Robby fixed up some faulty solders. Now it works like a champ. Thanks for the help! read more

Really great place, filled with knowledgeable people and good equipment.

Full disclosure: I've been a member of Xerocraft since about a week after the grand opening in the OLD building. We just held the grand RE-opening in the new space. If you like making things - no matter what the media (wood, metal, electronics, plastics, etc.) you at least need to come check the place out. read more
