Recently attended the grand opening of a new makerspace in southern California. A makerspace is a place that offers access to wide variety of expensive tools that an individual might not otherwise be able to afford. In the Urban Workshop in Irvine, there was a laser cutter allowing you to use a software drawing program to develop the design, and then have that design etched into some material like glass. A 3D printer was also available for use, and another large machine for cutting designs into wood. There were the typical pipe bending, lathe, and metal & wood working machines as well. Tucked away n another room was an electrical bench. Along with a soldiering iron and power supply, there was a signal generator and an oscilloscope.
