I am holding monthly Maker Evenings in my garage in Stellenbosch on Monday evenings. All makers welcome. Bring your projects.

Longer version

Calling all Makers in the Stellenbosch area! I have a double garage, a bunch of tools for mechanical and electronic making, and one Monday evening a month dedicated to building interesting things.

Bring your projects, get some help and inspiration, and make things! This will be free and really informal. I’ll provide tables, power and tools. Anyone with enthusiasm for making is welcome.

This will be a monthly thing, aiming for the second Monday of each month. I will be tinkering then, even if no-one else arrives.

Anyone is welcome, beginner to pro.

You don’t have to bring a project, you can come just to chat or get ideas for projects.

I might have a spare Arduino or Raspi, some sensors or lights, and breadboards available if you want to mess around with that, but no guarantees.

It might be useful to bring your own laptop, even if you don’t have a project, so you can start researching one :)

I have free wifi.

If you want anything to eat or drink, you have to bring it yourself.

Bring warm clothes, the garage might be cold in winter.

Materials

I have some parts and raw materials, which you are welcome to use within reason. This includes:

  • A bunch of scavenged motors and magnets from printers and harddrives
  • Solar cells from old garden lights
  • Lots of foam
  • Random electronic parts.

Tools

  • Soldering station
  • Drill press
  • Semi-working mini lathe
  • 3D printer and some filament (PLA only at this point)
  • Hand powertools, mostly woodworking
  • Hand tools for mechanical and electronic work
