Photo Darkroom

Submitted by Joshua Kanter on

Analog photography is totally rad and magical! Watching a print develop before your eyes never gets old. Let's have a space in Makehaven that affords members the ability to process their own black and white or color film and make prints using real photographic chemistry!

Things we'd need:

Enlargers
Safe lights
Easels
Trays
Tongs
Development tanks
Measuring vials
Chemistry
Paper
Running water

Sheet Metal Bead Roller

Submitted by Tony Soares on

Creates channels, ridges, and flanges to stiffen and minimize vibration in sheet metal parts or even just to decorate them---think truck bed floors and auto body panels. Stiffening allows for thinner gauges to be used and cheaper lighter sheet metal parts to be made.

Minimum cost is $175 for handcranked Eastwood #32044 model, expandable with optional power unit (+$300, Eastwood #21111) and rolling die set (+$225, Eastwood #20267).

Workaday Hack - Office Re-Entry Issues

Submitted by Robert Narracci on

So during the Work-At-Home period, my architectural design team got into a rhythm of MSTeams meeting and communicated pretty well. However, we encountered a technical challenge after re-entry to our office. (like other workspaces, we 're slowly filtering in with masks, strict hygeine rules, distancing, and a cap of 50% occupancy). We're still relying upon MSTeams because of travel restrictions and because some teammates are still at home.

New tools of biotechnology will change our world. These innovations in biotechnology can improve lives if accessible to everyone. We cultivate a community that democratizes access to biotechnology and brings ethical creativity to biology. The community supports cooperation on biology projects, and hosts activities that cultivate enthusiasm for biology in the public.

MakeHaven Main Space

The main makerspace and connected shops. This is located at 770 Chapel Street. Registered participants should ring the MakeHaven labeled doorbell. They will be directed down a long hallway, and down a set of stairs to our basement workshop.

 

In this hands-on workshop, you will create your own agar art using live microbes.  Participants will create agar art by painting with microbes and learn how to use traditional biology lab techniques with artistic tools. Before the experience you watch a video giving basic instruction of how to use the tools.

You will be assigned to one of four half-hour “painting” sessions to come and painton February 23; sessions scheduled to limit participant occupancy.

This tool can be used to bend flat pieces of acrylic (PMMA).
