For the two days before the BIG Event, we're going to get together in the workshop of the Edinburgh Tool Library to have fun working on sci-comm-related making projects.
Get together for a 2-day workshop in the Edinburgh Tool Library to have fun working on sci-comm-related making projects.
Have you got an idea for a demo or an exhibit that you've always wanted to prototype, but have never had the chance? Or would you just welcome the opportunity to do some building in the company of other BIG members? If so, this is the event for you.
This isn't specifically a training event, though you'll get an induction on woodworking machines as part of it. You don't need to be a workshop master – the key thing is that you're prepared to come along and have a go. There'll be informal advice aplenty.
The workshop is mainly equipped for woodworking. Drilling and hand-sawing metal is also possible.
And if you are staying in Edinburgh for the BIG Event, you'll have the chance to try out your prototype with BIG members on Friday 19th at Dynamic Earth.
Preparation: You'll get the most out of the event if you come with a clear idea of what you'd like to make. This way you will be able to get stuck in and start making straight away. We'll provide the basics: a collection of reclaimed timber, wood screws, and all the tools and machines you'll need. For other materials and components, Screwfix and B&Q are not far away, but it will save you time if you do your shopping in advance.
15-16 July 2019, 10am -7pm both days
£100 for members, £130 for non-members
