I like the video. How did you get an apartment floor as your shop?

After a long and hard discussion with my parents, they let us use one of the floors. The video only tours the workshop part, but the entire place consisted of a kitchen (where one of our mentors would cook), a private meeting room, and a sleeping room for all nighters.

Wow! Your parents are awesome! I love the 'MTV Cribs' style - I will get my team on this immediately...

Our shared facility @ Edison Tech High School.
Three teams share the space.

Holy Crap! That is impressive! I am jealous of such a well organized and well kept shop with that arsenal of mills, benders, lathes, and such. Where is this bastion of machinery housed at?

Edison Tech High School.
They have a ton of this king of equipment laying around the school.n There was a rumor that they were planning on tossing alot of the machinery out but nothing has come of it so hopefully the school has either changed it's mind or the rumor was false.

I'd think you're safe, especially if the tools are seeing a lot of use. Usually the tools that go are the broken, obsolete, and/or unused ones... I know this as during one of my manufacturing classes back in high school, there was a seldom used mill attachment I wanted to use for a particular project (I needed to mill hex ends on some racing tricycle axles), and what do you know, it had been sent to auction the year before. Figures.
