===== What is it? =====
After far too much talking and not enough doing, we've finally found a
space to create some awesome projects.  We have leased a new space! 

We're primarily located at [[1601_rutherford|1601 Rutherford Ln, Suite A200]].
The space is perfect for artists, designers, engineers, hackers,
fabbers, scientists, musicians, seminars and workshops, coworking, and
a ton of other stuff. Anything that needs a space, involves loud
equipment, messy equipment (woodworking, soldering/welding, painting),
power equipment (120V, 240V, and 3-phase power available), or
ventilation for fumes (etching, spray painting, varnish, etc).

More importantly, we're looking to establish a community. There are
lots of different groups in Austin, and friends meeting at
coffee shops, bars, and homes. If we combine skills, knowledge, ideas,
tools, and materials, just imagine the massive projects that could be
undertaken! Even if you're not into any of this, but want to learn,
there will be some very smart and fun people around to help teach.


===== What can I do to help? =====
==== Become a Member! ====
Memberships are available at various levels. Please see our [[ membership | membership page ]] for more info.

==== Donations & WishList ====

Pop onto our [[build-out]] page and see if there is anything on there you might be able to donate to the space. We also accept cash donations, and barter for projects and other things.

==== Build-Out ====

Right now, there's a lot of value in helping with building and cleaning up the space. Really, it's just a lot of physical (but fun!) labor to get the space ready for use.

==== Get The Word Out ====

There's also a lot of value in getting the word out, starting up discussions here or in the IRC channel, adding to the wiki, suggesting projects and ideas, etc. 

===== What tools are available? =====

The space already has:
  * welder
  * power tools
  * rolling door
  * conference room, and a large workshop floor
  * various electrical configurations with individual breakers
  * lockable storage spaces

Additionally it will have:
  * general purpose tools (hammers, screwdrivers, etc)
  * smaller woodworking tools
  * a server rack, possibly providing access to VMs and a hackable "sandbox"
  * electronics workbench and soldering/prototyping tools
  * Lathes, 3D printer, Laser Cutter, Milling Machine, and other tools.
