Re: Team's Shop

My team uses a middle-school woodshop. The worst part is having to clean up everything and move it to a seperate room.

Re: Team's Shop

we just got a basement room in our school for this year, although next year is up in the air. We will have a table-top drill press, some grinders, and some saws. Down in the theater shop they have a bandsaw, a large, huge, gigantic table saw, some drill presses, other saws, and some welding equipment.

I'd say it might be, oh, 40x40 feet. Big concrete pillar in the middle though, and a real nice ledge, about desk-height, on one wall that is concrete. Will be usefull. I know I am pleased, and I'm working on a designe that require minamal machining.

Re: Team's Shop

We just got our sponsorship with Flexicell within the last month, and the'yre donating their space and tools to us (among other things )
They're currently in a building with 24k sq ft. of floor space...BUT, luck lucky us,
they're moving into a brand new building within 5 minutes of my house with over 64k sq ft. of floor space. They have just about any kind of tool you can imagine. And the'yre letting us take parts from their stock inventory! That means we dont have to wait for shipping on metal/bearings/etc. Its all at out disposal. And, we get the infamous flexicell suction cups at our disposal
I know what it's like having little resources though. Our last two years were fairly harsh. Our first we built out of a 2 car garage that was half way full of clutter, and the only tools we had were a tablesaw, drilpress, and some workbenches.
This past year was a little better, we had more tools, and a full basement, and a good deal of space to practice in.
This year we're really happy. We think we'll have enough space to mark out the entire field! Though, I'm still not entirely sure how much space we can use. But, we shouldn't have many problems this year.
