In July's sheet metal bending class, we walked through using tools in the space to bend and form sheet metal.  The work was based on a template for making cell phone holders!  Thanks Victor for sharing your knowledge!

 

Look for a write up of the class notes in the near future!

Super Bowl of Destruction
Everyone is invited to come to the Arch Reactor for the Super Bowl of Destruction. We will have the football game on our big screen for everyone to watch. Not interested in football? Don’t worry, we also throw this party as something for the non-football enthusiasts. As a hackerspace, we use this time to breakdown all of the donations that are no longer usable or fixable. We have hard drives, computers, printers, server equipment, and more! Come join the mayhem and destruction! Bring a Super Bowl snack to share. Destruction 3rd at Arch Reactor, 2215 Scott Ave. 63103. Game starts later. Feel free to come and go anytime.

No photo description available.
