I am a member of the Chimera Art Space in Sebastopol, California. It is an art and maker space. We have a nice wood shop, a good selection of metal machining and welding equipment, a jewelry shop which is fantastic, and — relevant to my interests — a 100-watt laser cutter with an almost 4-foot by 3-foot cutting area.
Here is the laser cutter and one of the work tables, with five bots dry-fitted because I wanted to make sure everything was working. And also because I like seeing lots of robots in progress.
I’ve now cut parts for about 30 bots.
