I really need to get my hands on an old Bridgeport mill and a lathe.

Seeing the comment talking about "maker space" really tells me it's a liberal group. They need a cutesy name about their safe space. I grew up building things. Hell I remember going to a friends house in Kindergarten and we were out in a shed hammering nails I'm sure accomplishing nothing, but still. Unsupervised even. I remember so well because I remember I got a blood blister after I hit my finger. I don't remember it being a big deal though. I would go to my grandfathers and build things out of his scrap wood. Not a neat little kit that snaps together, just a hand saw, hammer, nails, screws, etc. I had a friend in high school who had built an actual forge in his backyard shed. Rudimentary of course, but you could get metal hot enough to hammer it into things. Never once in all of this did a single one of us think anything other than we were building things. We didn't need a cutesy name to put up on the wall "maker space"
