You need to take the making seriously. Wherever you are on the way to professional, you’re welcome. Hot Maker is built for exactly that.
Hot Maker is a hot desk with no storage. A Shared Bench comes with one shelf. A Private Bench has proper storage at the bench.
Bench members can, after induction, along with every workshop across our buildings. Hot Maker members use the makerspace, which has its own woodwork bench: hand tools, a chop saw, sanders and a small bandsaw.
No. The makerspace is at Hone Limehouse only. Hone Bristol has woodwork now and jewellery benches coming.
