[Vanhackspace] Wood Shop

[Jeff Davis]

Hi Jason,

Folks at VHS are definitely very interested in getting shop tools into
the space.  I imagine it's going to have to wait until we move to a
bigger space, which won't be until after our current lease is up.  But
it is absolutely something we want to see happen.

We're also waiting to see what happens with the Vancouver Community Lab
folks, who are trying to start up something more oriented towards wood-
and metal-working:

  http://www.vancommunitylab.com/

They don't have a space or tools yet, but they are working on it.  You
might want to check them out too.

Welcome to the list!

Jeff
