Cheltenham Hackspace

A community-operated workspace where people with common interests, such as technology, design, art and computing, can meet and socialise.

We now have a ko-fi, so if you can't use the space but would still like to support us in some way you can now donate through the link below.

It can also be found in the new linktree in our profile above.

We have launched a fundraiser for a new laser cutter! Please consider a donation and feel free to share this link, including with employers (note that we would be open to wider sponsorship arrangements if employers would like to talk to us).

Last week one of our members took a broken coffee table and made a new base from their neighbour's old front door. Lovely timber that would have otherwise gone to landfill.

Now that we have a metal lathe and mill, we can make parts for the lathe and mill.
This week one of our metalworking leads had been pushing the machine's limits with stainless steel, making a replacement plunger for the lathe tool post

Thanks to all of our volunteers for our tidy-up weekend! Day 2 was just as productive as day 1, though we didn't get as many photos.

[Cheltenham Hackspace @Chelt_Hackspace]

Day one of our tidy-up weekend has seen great inroads into organising and clearing the space. Lots more to do, but a great job done by our volunteers today!

[Cheltenham Hackspace @Chelt_Hackspace]

Last night one of our members ran part 1 of a green wood spoon carving workshop. We learnt proper knife technique and started carving our spoons to rough shape. Next week, we'll continue with carving out the bowl part.

A great time making shavings, and not a single injury 🙌

This week our metalworking room-lead has been putting the milling attachment for the Emco lathe through its paces. With all the required tools being close to hand, nothing *should* ever get lost. The first chips are looking good, so inductions for members will be available soon.

@mpmwilko @CheltHackspace Thank you for coming to see us. @CheltHackspace is actually our mysterious twitter doppelganger! (We don't even know who owns it!) It's @Chelt_Hackspace for the real deal! 😁

[Max Wilkinson MP @mpmwilko]

Where can you find giant Pac-Man, 3D printing of ducks, textile upcycling and so much more? Happy 10th anniversary to the folks at @CheltHackspace! They’ve helped loads of local people to make, learn, create and share.

[Cheltenham Hackspace @Chelt_Hackspace]

We've got laser cut keyrings, knitting machines, dress making and electronic gizmos!

[Cheltenham Hackspace @Chelt_Hackspace]

This isn't exactly how I thought @emfcamp would go down in history #emfcamp

[Cheltenham Hackspace @Chelt_Hackspace]

@Trikkitt I've posted this in our emf chat to see if anyone saw it.

[Cheltenham Hackspace @Chelt_Hackspace]

We are having a great time at @emfcamp.

Keep your eyes peeled - we are being a sneaky bunch and covertly "pegging" what seems like half the festival attendees 👀

Ryan was challenged to find and peg @jonty...

Mission accomplished.

[Cheltenham Hackspace @Chelt_Hackspace]
