Equipment

Main article: Maker Nexus Equipment

About Makerspaces and Making in General

Other items bulleted under "Maker Spaces and Resources" on the current main page ("Businesses offering discounts", "Ideas for Classes", and "A secure RFID system" could go a click farther away, either on the "Starting a Maker Space" page or on some new page. --JSaxe
  • Tools and Tips — This is our collection of notes for makers on tools, techniques, materials, settings, and sources. Articles linked from here may or may not be relevant to equipment or activities at Maker Nexus.
