Have others here used to facilities at Techshop?

From their website:
Each of our facilities includes laser cutters, plastics and electronics labs, a machine shop, a wood shop, a metal working shop, a textiles department, welding stations and a waterjet cutter. Members have open access to design software, featuring the entire Autodesk Design Suite. Huge project areas with large work tables are available for completing projects and collaborating with others. Free coffee and fresh popcorn are always available for your enjoyment. We also offer a number of experience-driven corporate events developed specifically to bring teams together and engage them in the act of making.

I've done lowers using their Jet Mill. To use equipment, you need to take a short class first. My instructor saw me building my lower and when I asked he said it was "no problem at all". The terms of use that show no specific prohibitions on type of work.

Locations in CA, AZ, TX, MI and VA. More are planned.

They also have a program where veterans get a one year free membership as well as a generous stipend for taking classes.

Obama used their company as a backstop for one of his speeches?

No thanks, not interested.

Are you in some way affiliated with the company? Seems an odd thing to post as your first post when they are located in your home state.

Interesting company but yeah i don't know they will win many friends here by having obama displayed prominently on their front page.
