Saturday: Grand Opening of new TechShop in SOMA

0techshop-portland.jpg

What I wouldn't give to have cheap access to my own ID shop, rather than the pair of sawhorses, hallway and irritated neighbors I have now.

Tomorrow, those of you lucky enough to be in San Francisco can attend the Grand Opening event of TechShop's new SOMA location. (Above is a shot of the Portland location.) After the 1pm keynote by Adam Savage from Mythbusters, visitors can see demos and tours of the workshop, which include...

- a Tormach 1100 CNC milling machine - Lincoln welding stations - sheet metal working equipment - drill presses and band saws - industrial sewing machines - hand tools - woodworking equipment including a 4' x 8' ShopBot CNC router - plastics equipment - electronics design and fabrication facilities - Epilog laser cutters - tubing and metal bending machines - a 3D Systems ProJet-3000 3D printer - 2D and 3D design software including applications from Autodesk and Adobe

...among other things.

The address is 926 Howard and the ribbon-cutting ceremony starts at 12:15pm. Presumably they'll lay the ribbon across that Tormach 1100 and CNC the crap out of it.

Good news for us New Yorkers: TechShop Brooklyn is reportedly coming in Fall 2011!
