Occasionally we get a few tips on our hotline telling us of hackerspace happenings. Either a space is moving, they need some help to install a moat around the space, or there’s a mini-conference of weird and esoteric technology happening sometime soon. The latest such tip is from the Santa Barbara Hackerspace. They’re moving, the new space doesn’t have a leaky roof, and they’re looking for some people to help out.
The new space features necessary hackerspace upgrades like no carpet, 120, 220, and 440 Volt outlets, actual parking, and a non-leaky roof. You can get by with a leaky roof in Santa Barbara, but having a roof that doesn’t have holes in it is always a bonus.
Add this to the space’s existing battery of equipment – everything from laser cutters, bandsaws, and welders to oscilloscopes, an amateur radio station, and a forge and anvil, there’s a lot anyone can do in this space.
But wait, we have carpet at CrashSpace. Obviously it needs a vacuuming even after it has just been vacuumed (I’ve cleaned it a few times so I speak from experience). It still absorbs some sound and makes you feel at home.

Could have at least looked up the proper way to move a knee mill…
Good luck with the move.
Our makerspace has been through similar hardships.
Im going to plug southlondonmakerspace.com
Weve had to line out a leaky railway arch.
As property is soooo expensive around London.
And we had to build a floor let alone paint it to make it look pretty.
We had our opening on Wednesday and are now open for business.
