The Anchorage Makerspace is conveniently located in midtown just off Spenard road, behind the TapRoot bar (which has its own benefits!). A makerspace is a shop space for artists, engineers, craftsman, DIY enthusiasts and the tech-curious. We have two 1500 sq.ft semi-industrial bays which are available to guests on Monday open days 6-8 pm, and to members 24/7. Membership is $100/month and comes wit
h full and unrestricted access to tools and facilities at the space. In our Shop space we have a full woodworking shop with table saws, band saws, lathes, drill presses, routers, hammer, screws and all the nuts and bolts you would ever need. A mig welder, acetylene torch and welding table are also available. The Shop also features a 2x2 foot Shapoko 2 CNC mini-mill and a 4x8 foot BigFoot CNC Router table which was just constructed and got its first light in January. The Maker Cafe is our recently remodeled adjacent space beside the Shop, dedicated to electronics, arts, crafts, computing, robotics and meeting/events space. Modeled after Cafe for comfort and to facilitate gatherings, planning sessions and special events the Cafe features a variety of 3D printers, a large format plotter and a 4x3 foot, 100 Watt CO2 Laser Cutter which is the pride and joy of our makerspace. The Anchorage Makerspace is a membership driven community resource, always looking for new things to do and things to learn. Our biggest asset is the collective knowledge of our members and our dedication to the proliferation of knowledge, skills and having fun exploring arts and science.
