CNCRT44: Build Your Own Makerspace




CNC Router Tips Podcast show

Summary: CNC Router Tips Podcast Episode 44<br>Build Your Own Makerspace with Mike Heidrick. <br><br>In the episode we talk with Mike Heidrick about why you should build your own makerspace. After trying unsuccessfully to work with local government to bring a makerspace to his community, Mike Heidrick decided to build his own makerspace. Aptly named the Mikeyspace, Mike built a 40’X64’X16’ polebarn with a 10’X24’ porch - two 14’X14’ overhead doors, 3 pedestrian doors, and 4 36”X48” double hung windows, and 5" thick concrete floor with radiant heat. The project has taken nearly 3 years to complete but features a full CNC machine shop, CNC woodworking shop, welding equipment and a drive in theater. And this is just the start.<br><br>Bill Griggs contact info:<br>Twitter: @BillGriggs<br>Website: <a href="http://cncroutertips.com" rel="noopener">http://cncroutertips.com</a><br>SHOW NOTES: <a href="http://cncroutertips.com/44" rel="noopener">http://cncroutertips.com/44</a><br><br>Websites Mentioned<br><br>Joes CNC <a href="http://joescnc.com" rel="noopener">http://joescnc.com</a><br>Maker Masters <a href="http://makermasters.com" rel="noopener">http://makermasters.com</a><br>The Makers Guide <a href="http://themakersguide.com" rel="noopener">http://themakersguide.com</a><br>Habitat For Humanity Restore <a href="http://www.habitat.org/restores" rel="noopener">http://www.habitat.org/restores</a><br>Bloomingtonmike Youtube Channel. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/bloomingtonmike" rel="noopener">https://www.youtube.com/user/bloomingtonmike</a><br>#CNC Router Tips <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/cncroutertips/" rel="noopener">https://www.facebook.com/groups/cncroutertips/</a><br>Mach3 Software <a href="http://www.themakersguide.com/home/products/mach3" rel="noopener">http://www.themakersguide.com/home/products/mach3</a><br>CNC Starter Bit set <a href="http://cncroutertips.com/bits" rel="noopener">http://cncroutertips.com/bits</a><br>VCarve Demo Video <a href="http://cncroutertips.com/demo" rel="noopener">http://cncroutertips.com/demo</a><br>VCarve Software <a href="http://themakersguide.com/vcarve8" rel="noopener">http://themakersguide.com/vcarve8</a><br>Triple Edge Finder <a href="http://themakersguide.com" rel="noopener">http://themakersguide.com</a><br>Resources <a href="http://cncroutertips.com/resources" rel="noopener">http://cncroutertips.com/resources</a><br><br>How to leave a review on iTunes<br>Go to this page.<br><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/cnc-router-tips-podcast-spreaker/id1031116372?mt=2" rel="noopener">https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/cnc-router-tips-podcast-spreaker/id1031116372?mt=2</a><br>Click View in iTunes.<br>Click on ratings and reviews in iTunes <br>Click the Write a Review button<br>Leave an honest rating.<br>Then write a review Just a few words.
