I won’t make any bold claims such as “A vote for marrold is a vote for change” - This is something we as a community can all be involved in. However I feel that now the Hackspace is the “right” side of London for me it’s now time to take some of the load off our current trustees shoulders, and put myself forward as a trustee. | I won’t make any bold claims such as “A vote for marrold is a vote for change” - This is something we as a community can all be involved in.

Joining Hackspace when it was at Cremer Street (before Hackney Road) was life-changing for me......I’d been struggling to understand how to do all the soldering for the Arduino of the RepRap 3d printer I was trying to put together…...suddenly I was surrounded by friendly “hackers” who were only too keen to help out, especially when I helped them out with things I was more familiar with, such as carpentry, metal-fabrication, mould-making and casting resins for prototypes. | |||
At the Hackney Road space I always enjoyed giving tours on Tuesday evenings, otherwise spending most of my time down in the basement and out in the yard, where I fabricated a few bike trailers and experimented with hydroponic planting. Through friends at universities I arranged to bring in donated equipment, such as kilns for metal-casting, and now I'm really keen to help get all the tools and equipment in the new wood and metal workshops to be as safe and useful as possible. | |||
The new location hasn't been so easy for me to get to until two months ago, when I passed my driving test and bought an electric van! | |||
Now I'm extremely keen to spend lots of time at the new space.....helping to make it a great place to work on fun worthwhile projects, in the company of friendly like-minded people ^_^ If elected to be a trustee I'll absolutely do my best to help our community to have the best Hackspace we can possibly have! | |||
