This week’s episode of Translogic takes us to Tech Shop in San Francisco. The Tech Shop franchise is a fabrication workshop co-op where you pay a monthly membership fee and take classes to be trained on the equipment they have. I have a membership at the Tech Shop here in Raleigh and have really enjoyed it. I’m going to be using the CNC mill, metal shop, CNC plasma cutter and welders to do the EV conversion on the RX-8. It’s been great to learn all the fabrication skills to supplement my engineering degree. I find myself revisiting all the ideas for inventions that I’ve had in years past now that I’m actually able to make things. If you’re in the Bay Area, the Triangle area in NC, Detroit or Austin, then check out the Tech Shop Website to see what your local shop has to offer. The Translogic video showcases some of the success stories that were born in the San Francisco Tech Shop including a little roadster powered by a BMW motorcycle engine:
