Our New Shop

Written by on Sunday, February 10th, 2008

It’s been a while since I last posted anything to this blog. The LaserMotive team has finally caught up on sleep, and worked out our plans for 2008.The first and most important order of business we had to attend to: our own workshop. I’m glad to report that LaserMotive moved into our very own shop in January.

Workshop, before equipment came in

It started out looking like more space than we’d need, as you can see above, but we were certainly able to move our stuff in easily. But it’s already starting to look a bit crowded, because we’re still getting it fully set up, and we’re stocking it with a variety of tools to make our job easier this year.

One of the difficulties in finding a good workshop was to locate one that was tall enough for our treadmill. Luckily we were able to find a good shop, and the treadmill is standing up, waiting for the ribbon to be replaced with a steel cable.

We want to thank Andrews Space once again for their help and generously allowing us to use some of their shop space last autumn. The space at their shop was awesome, but they have their own exciting projects going on there and growing, so we had to move out.

Oh, and one more thing: we’ve got the coolest conference table and chairs now! At least we would if it were still the 1980s….

For those who are interested in maybe joining the LaserMotive team, I will announce shortly an opportunity for people to visit our shop. Check back soon!
