A community makerspace with literally tons of tools. Sharing skills and expertise between makers encourages innovation and collaboration. A McGyver collective.

We work and teach on metal, wood, electronics, crafts, CNC, glass, leather, etc. Stop by Fri nights for a tour! to bodge (v): 1.to hack something together, to McGyver it. 2. to repair hastily and without care of durability or aesthetics or perfection. 3. an inelegant but workable “fix” applied to extend functionality or correct a problem. bodgery (n): place where people hack things together.

The Bodgery will soon be expanding into a new suite adjacent to our existing space. With windows on three sides, we have nicknamed the new space the Fishbowl. The Fishbowl was quite dirty, so members gathered over the weekend to power-wash and clean. As a volunteer-run organization without paid staff, we are so grateful for our members who donate their time to keep our makerspace running.
