Looking for Bay Area build space

[alansbecker]

Hey folks,

We used to build at NIMBY in Oakland and we thought we had a replacement lined up for this year's art build, but it fell through. Our needs are pretty simple -- gated, power available, we can handle the rest. Anyone know of any available lots, maker spaces with room to assemble a mid-sized project, we would love to talk! Thanks!!

Pretty sure they have some room, no idea about costs, etc.

Thanks. I reached out to them to see if they have space in their lot. We'll see!

If anyone else reads this, though, we'd love more ideas!

Depending on what you are doing, it might not require having grid power.

I use storage units for my off grid work shop and run it off of solar panels and a power system that I built.

It can run any power tool that can be plugged into a 20 amp outlet.

Routinely run circular saw, chop saw, power drill. 1800 watt heat gun for doing heat shrink for the mobile electrical work that I do.

If there are going to be really heavy draws for short periods of time a generator could handle that.

hi, I found a building space in San Fransisco, the Box Shop, I just got conformation that I can get a space at the Reno Generator which will fit our project better so my space at the Box Shop will be free.

Jonathan runs it, he’s super cool. I don’t know what he’ll say but always worth an ask.

Best,

No telling what he'll say, but it's worth asking anyhow.
