Materials
We operate by the principle of “give more than you take.” If everyone shares a little bit, the whole community will have plenty. You are welcome to freely print on the 3d printer or use the scrap wood and metal on the storage racks, but if you use a lot, consider replacing it with your time, talent, or money.
What is the age limit for members/for those under 18?
Synergy Mill is a workshop with potentially dangerous tools so we require anyone under 18 to have close adult supervision. A waiver is also required to operate any equipment.
When are mentors present at Synergy Mill?
Mentors can be found during currently posted hours and tinker Tuesdays.
Where can I find what upcoming classes are available?
Upcoming classes can be found on our website at http://www.synergymill.com and http://www.meetup.com/synergymill
Can I bring a friend?
Please bring a friend and share the space with them. We also have a rule of thumb to not operate dangerous machinery alone, so always have a buddy that can keep an eye on you! We also suggest a donation of $5 per visit for non-members.
Can I bring my own tools to work with in the Synergy Mill work spaces
You are welcome to bring your own tools, especially tools that may be specific to your project like drill bits and other consumable items.
