This is an open wiki for makers. It is also the repository of public information about Maker Nexus' makerspace in Sunnyvale, California. We document a lot of our organization in this wiki. Read about us here.

This wiki is about fabrication and making and a bit of hacking. It covers tools, techniques, materials, settings, and sources. Frankly, we set it up so that we wouldn't forget all the good things we have learned through hard work and getting help from our friends. Everyone is welcome to use our information.
