So.....  Having "incubated" at Milo Arts for about a year now, it's time for our little chick to poke its beak through its shell and emerge as a red-brick, egg-project-laying chicken, or something. 

We'll be moving to a new place, where we're renting a 2400 sq foot stand-alone brick building, with gas heat, 12 foot ceilings, a garage door, 1 phase and 3 phase 220 volt, 60 amp power (good for our plasma cutter and welders!), and more.   Marvin, the landlord, is giving us a motorized hoist, a horizontal band saw, and has offered to allow us to pick through one of his other industrial sites for any gear we might need.  Very very helpful and generous!

The idea is to start a non-profit organization for the Steampunk Laboratory, to seek grants to teach science and engineering through hands-on, functional art projects, as well as to start a larger community creative fabrication and education center, where we could offer memberships to people who would like to use the facilities, tools, CNC machines, expertise, etc.  Not sure yet whether that will be a monthly-type of membership (like a gym), or a buy-in like a co-op, or simply an hourly rental rate for the tools.  If you have any ideas or suggestions, please send them our way!

Should be lots of fun. :-D
