Had a great day out yesterday at Birmingham NEC, geeking out over digital fabrication tools! Had a drool over Trotec's laser cutters, Applelec's LED light sheets & AXYZ International's twin head CNC milling machines! Great research into pricing and machine specifications for the Maker Lab plans! Exciting stuff :)
Edit
The lovely generous folks at re:work donated a vinyl cutter to The Laser House. That's two machines we have now !
Edit
Had a lovely time chatting and eating welsh cakes with the Sew Clever! group this morning. Talked about the possibility of running a laser cutting workshop for them at The Laser House!

Great evening last night spreading the word about Maker Lab and networking with creative, tech and business-minded people based in Bristol. Generated some great ideas and laid the foundations for city-wide collaboration.
Edit
The Laser House received it's first official post today with the arrival of our business cards! Pretty happy with them too :)

Finally actually got to see Book Hive by Rusty Squid in the flesh! Love it! So much personality :)

Creating a timeline of targets and events for the Do What You Love project. It's all getting very real!

Had the BEST day learning how to programme the Arduino to create basic animatronics with a sensor-operated motor. Given me so many ideas for interactive projects!
Edit
It's all happening for The Laser House this week! The laser cutter has arrived safely today with the help of robotics students Sam and Ali, and Ali's brother who kindly drove it up from London in his van. Also had great feedback on some product design ideas in a meeting this morning. Not long now before I can get making!
Edit
Great day completing the Dedicated User Workshop on the laser cutters at UWE. Can't wait to get cracking on making my design commission from KWMC!
