A small group of founding members in Toledo operating a shared industrial space — stocked with the professional tools most makers can't justify buying on their own.
Toledo Makerspace is a member-run community workshop. Members collectively operate a shared industrial space and maintain access to tools that would cost tens of thousands to own individually.
Whether you're rebuilding an engine, building furniture, welding art, sewing costumes, or just need a solid workbench — this is your space.
Every area is designed for real work — not display. Tools are maintained, organized, and available to all members.
2-post lift, air compressor, floor jack, diagnostic tools. Change your own oil, do your own brakes, or tackle bigger jobs — without the dealer markup.
Table saw, bandsaw, jointer, planer, router table, and dust collection. Build furniture, cabinetry, home projects, or one-of-a-kind pieces.
MIG/TIG welder, plasma cutter, angle grinders, chop saw, and drill press. Fabricate, repair, and create in steel, aluminum, and more.
Soldering stations, oscilloscopes, bench power supplies, and microcontrollers. Prototype circuits, repair electronics, and build Arduino or Raspberry Pi projects.
Sewing machines, embroidery machine, Cricut cutters, jewelry bench, and cutting tables. A dedicated space for textile arts, wearables, and handcraft.
FDM and resin printers, a full-size laser cutter, and vinyl cutting. Design it, print it, cut it — from prototype to finished product.
This isn't a commercial gym with hidden fees. Members collectively decide what gets purchased, how the space is governed, and how dues are set.
Monthly membership dues cover rent, utilities, insurance, and consumables. Every member knows exactly where their money goes — costs are posted transparently each month.
No scheduling required for most equipment. Show up when you want, work as long as you need. A smart lock system keeps access secure and logged.
Members who loan equipment to the collective earn a dues credit. Your table saw or welder helps everyone — and your monthly bill reflects that.
New equipment purchases, rule changes, and space improvements are decided collectively. This is your workshop — not a landlord's investment property.
Final dues depend on how many founding members join and which space we lease. Here's the realistic range.
Exact amount set once we confirm the space and founding member count.
