Although the shop is closed, we are still here and plan to stay for a long, long time. If there’s anything we can do to help you by using our shop, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
We're working on a humorous web series about tools, equipment, how to fix things, and how to make things while we are unable to host classes. Here’s Scott’s first series on how to fix a rollup garage door after he crashed the van into it. It's a Hoot! Please give it a view, share it, and subscribe to the New Metal Shop Fantasy Camp show Youtube channel.

Scott was featured in the New York Times Design section in Mid-March featuring a commissioned light switch plate. The headline was a little buried thanks to Covid19 making its debut in NYC. It was weird to be so excited about being in the NY Times and then his dreams of recognition were crushed. Check out the NYTimes article here When You Turn on the Lights, Linger a Little.
We continue to work on a number of new classes including Scrap Art Welding, Welding Drawing art, D&D 20 sided dies, Benches, and Knifemaking. And for a few hours every month, the shop will become a free open house for the MSFC community. Cube class grads are invited to get help starting a project or use the shop tools to move your personal project along. There is so much creativity within our maker community and we want to support you. Summer and fall schedule plus new classes will be on the website within the next month.
We have applied for every grant and loan that has been offered since mid-march and have not gotten a dime. If you're in a position to support us as we go through this trying time, please purchase one of our Gift Certificates!
