>=The Material Fabrication Sessions=
Developing and sharing design techniques & hands-on fabrication skills useful for making material objects. Facilitated by John Magolske.
What, Where & When
What: An informal class covering the use of shop tools, with a focus on project-based learning.<br> When: 8:00pm till ~9:30 most Fridays (monitor the discuss list for exceptions) <br>Note: This main project for this class became building out the new space...we hope to resume classes in our new workshop soon.<br> Where: Noisebridge, 2169 Mission, San Francisco (near 16th St. BART). Map: https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Getting_Here<br> Who: Folks interested in learning how to use tools to make physical things (you?)<br> Cost: Free, but people may be asked to pay for the cost of materials from time to time. Donations of tools or money to buy tools for Noisebridge are welcome.
The Plan
The plan is to cover in our weekly sessions the basics of how to:
- use fabrication tools: hacksaw, vise, drill press, bench grinder, lathe
- use some basic layout tools (machinist's square, scriber, centerpunch)
- create and read dimensioned drawings that fully define mechanical parts
- understand and follow safe shop practices
With a project-based learning approach, the goal is for people to create things they're excited about using in their day-to-day lives. An initial project we're focusing on is making a small, portable book-press suitable for making pocket booklets. While we'll be going over the use of traditional basic shop tools, we also encourage thinking outside the box.
Additional project ideas / activities for consideration:
- Enclosures for electronics projects (we're a bit limited in this regard until we manage to obtain a brake press and some other basic sheet-metal working tools.
- Vegetable scraper
- Artwork & artifacts to spruce up the Noisebridge space (lighting fixtures, space organizing thingies...)
- Using a sewing machine to make booklets
- Making booklets that describe how to make booklets and tools used for making booklets
- Sewing shop aprons & fabric tool organizers
- Musical instruments (& then maybe segueing into a Friday night jam session with said instruments)
