New Community Makerspace Outside of Philly!

Hey!! My name is Dan Scrima and I'm a custom furniture maker and wood enthusiast! I am finally giving it my all to fulfill my dream of opening a Makerspace right here in the suburbs of Philadelphia. With my wife, 3 crazy kids and our dog by my side, we're going to open an amazing place where people of all ages can come together to learn the art of woodworking through shop memberships and group/private lessons. One day the goal will be to expand to metalworking, blacksmithing and other crafts, but we're first going to start with an amazing woodworking shop run by top notch instructors and a superior staff of energetic makers!

My biggest need is the initial investment into creating a safe workshop with proper dust collection, electrical drops wherever needed, and building renovations to support having many makers working on projects at the same time. I already purchased most of the equipment I need to get started, but things like leveling the floor and making sure bathrooms and a common area kitchen are up to standards will definitely take some capital.

With the idea that we can start small, we still want to maintain a high standard so that members get the experience they pay for and are energized to keep coming back every day and build new projects! I literally cannot wait to see what everyone makes in this space!
