The West Bethel Makerspace is a free tool library, woodworking shop, digital manufacturing studio, and internet cafe founded by a group of rural carpenters, artists, and technology professionals. We want to share the cost and environmental impact of buying and maintaining high quality equipment while offering everyone in our community an affordable and state of the art environment to develop skills, spread knowledge, and bring dreams to life. WBMS will offer memberships, events, and classes on everything from laser cutting to fine wood joinery in our 2500 sq ft facility. Our free tool library (developed in collaboration with the local public library) will stock DIY necessities like hand tools as well as professional-level equipment like table saws and flooring nailers. Our fully stocked woodworking and digifab shops will host tools like a cabinet-grade Saw Stop table saw, Shapoko large format CNC milling machine, and 4-color auto-changing FDM 3D printer, all loaned by various local professionals who see the benefit in sharing workspace. We can’t wait to see what the community will make!
