Silver bracelet & pendant made in the makerspace metal shop by HammerSpace owner Dave Dalton and his sons using the cuttle fish bone method. We can't wait to start offering metalworking classes like these to the public again, but unfortunately all classes are on hold due to the pandemic (makerspace still open to members for open DIY workshop use). Let's all do our part to get those Covid-19 numbers down so we can get our classes back up again for Spring/Summer 2021. 🤞

Farm-fresh egg holder for the kitchen, made by Dave Dalton at our Kansas City makerspace using laser cut MDF. Newer eggs go in at the top and roll down as you use the older eggs towards the bottom.

Current Reopening Status (7/30/20) : Our KC makerspace is now open to all current members (age 16+) who have already been trained in. We are still holding off on any new memberships until Aug. 1st, 2020 at the earliest (official date TBA).

All current members who come in to use the makerspace are required to wear a proper face mask over their nose & mouth at all times & practice social distancing while using the workshop. The temporary entrance for members is located at the garage door in the gated parking lot (push the doorbell button for entry and badge-in).

All classes, events, and makerspace tours are still temporarily cancelled at this time for the safety of our makers & instructors, but will be offered again once we feel it is safe to host them with effective social distancing.

Our custom fabrication services are still available to the public by using the online job request form on our website (with curbside pickup and shipping options): hammerspacehobby.com/forge

Trust us, we can't wait to open our doors to new members and offer classes again, but with the local COVID-19 cases rising daily, we have to prioritize the health & safety of the local maker community, our paid staff & their families over simply "getting back to normal". This is one of the hardest decisions we have ever had to make in our 8 years of operation, but we are compromising as best we can.

A big maker THANK YOU for your patience over these past few months. We miss our makers and can't wait to serve, educate, and inspire the local community again. ❤️

Pac-Man: Power Pellet Shooting Gallery! So my son Kai loves target shooting with BBs, but he doesn't love picking up sticky soda cans. So we had a father-son brainstorm and build session. I present the second in a series of nerd themed carnival games. Made using the plasma cutter, welding equipment, and woodworking tools at our Kansas City makerspace. 👻😬🍓

🛠️Update on New Memberships🛠️: While HammerSpace is now open to current members (age 16 & older) as of June, we will not be accepting any new membership signups until mid/late July at the earliest. Why, you ask? Two reasons: We are giving our current members time to catch up on projects while we are limiting the number of people in the workshop to no more than 10 people at a time (for easier social distancing between work stations). Also, because of the training required with new memberships, we just don't feel that it's a good idea just yet to have our staff members training in new members, which would involve standing at distances closer than 6ft and using the same tools as the new members at the same time.

We hope that you can understand our decision. We love that so many people are eager to become new members of our makerspace to make cool things, and we hate having to turn them down right now. But we have to make these hard decisions now to protect both our local makers AND our staff so we can welcome in more people later. Remember friends, it's only temporary. Thank you for your patience and your support during these "interesting times". ✨✨✨

✨Long-winded Re-opening Update✨: Our makerspace's community woodshop & metalshop areas are now open to both current blue apron AND current red apron level members, limit 10 members total at a time (no children under 16 years of age or new member sign-ups at this time). You can check to see how many people are using the workshop at any given time via the COVID-19 page on our website: hammerspacehobby.com *Blue Apron level hours: 11am til midnight, 7 days a week.
*Red Apron level hours: 11am-7pm, Tues-Sun (red level please call ahead to book your workshop time). All members are required to wear a proper face mask over their mouth & nose while inside of the building and stay at least 6ft apart from others at all times. No food or drink permitted while in the workshop. Wipe-down shop rags with disinfectant will be provided at the door for wiping off tools after use. Members must enter through the garage door in the gated parking lot (ring doorbell next to garage door for entry). Restroom access available upon request.

We understand that many of you are eager to get back to making cool things in our workshop once again, so we are doing our best to meet those requests in the safest way possible for both you and our staff.. 👩‍🔧👩‍🏭 .

We've been hard at work updating, decluttering, and reorganizing our KC makerspace during the lockdown these past few months. Here are some photos of the newly improved community workshop. We are now open to current "Blue Apron" level members and custom fabrication orders, and very soon we will also be open to current "Red Apron" members as well (date TBA). Classes, events, and new membership signups are still on hold for now. We are doing our best to reopen to our makers as safely as possible. We hope it's worth the wait. 👩‍🏭❤️👩‍🔧 .

It feels weird not to be scrambling to finish another crowd pleasing HammerSpace booth exhibit for Maker Faire KC this week (stupid pandemic!), so here's pics of the "Push Button, Receive Bacon" machine we built at our KC makerspace for MFKC 2016. Yes, it actually dispensed hot, precooked bacon strips at the push of a button, complete with bacon song. "BACON, BACON, BACON..." 🥓🥓🥓 .

My dad gave me this old utility/tool box he dug out of his basement. It was too musty and cracked to be used for its original intended purpose, so I RE-purposed it into a makerspace planter box. 🌷🌷🌷 .

Color coded clamps. While our KC makerspace has been closed for social distancing, our staff has been busy making much needed workshop upgrades including a color code system for putting tools back in the right place. We plan on reopening our makerspace to our current members in June. Exact date TBA very soon. Call us if you have any questions. We miss our makers. 👩‍🏭 .

Re-opening Update: After much consideration plus the feedback we recieved from our recent member poll, Our KC makerspace has decided to wait until at least June 1st to re-open, giving us time to observe and learn from local businesses who choose to re-open on May 15th.
We strongly believe that the extra two week delay and observation period will result in a much smoother, safer June re-opening date for our maker members. We predict a lot of trial & error & trial again in our city over the next 2 weeks or so.

As always, if you are a current HammerSpace member who needs some simple work done for a project such as cutting down lumber, etc, we will happily do that work for you at no extra charge if you want to call us to schedule a time to drop off your materials with instructions.
Our in-house custom fabrication department is still taking orders via our website with curbside pickup: hammerspacehobby.com/forge

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to give us a call: 913-686-6562. Otherwise, good luck, stay safe, and we hope to see you all next month, pandemic permitting. 🛠️ .

Remember, the Missouri-wide May 4th re-open date DOES NOT apply to KCMO where the strictest order remains in place until May 15th (Thank you, Mayor Lucas 👍). In the meantime, our KC makerspace is currently working on a list of new temporary rules & procedures for members & staff to follow right after we re-open our doors (TBA). Things will look very different at the makerspace for a while. But remember it’s only temporary, friends.
