   I found this while doing some random surfing.

   Woodworking, Blacksmith and Metal fabrication shops that are not quite maker spaces but do allow (assuming some level of experience) to use their space for things you might want to do for minimal cost, especially when you take into account the cost of some of the equipment they offer. It looks like they have places listed around the globe, I found US, UK and Germany so far.

      @geniusmusing That's wonderful! I have told teens and young adults for several years that the one career that will always be needed is plumber. But if electricity goes down for a while, nothing computer-related will be viable until power is restored.

      I wish that whomever they hired to do their site didn't make it #JavaScrippled.
      
      Bloated, JavaScript heavy sites are great for people with the newest computers and software, not so great for someone who may be trying to view from an underfunded library's computer or a grandparents' computer.

         I just realized that based on the link descriptions...
         bubble this and that...
         but then what is the replacement for java for running stuff in a browser?

            I am also guessing that nobody was hired to make the site, other than the owner(I think) who mainly does wood stuff...
            
            This is what I was watching when I found the link.
