Hello,
I'm wondering if anyone is aware of any co-op shops in the Los
Angeles, CA area. Does such a thing even exist? I won't have the space
or capitol to have a full shop of my own so it makes sense that I
might be able to pool resources with a group of other hobbyists.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Eric

Eric:
My understanding is that TechShop is going to be expanding into
LA and San Diego. Here's a URL:

Whoa: "There are currently 11 TechShops actively being built around the
country, and hundreds more to come in the next few years." Amazing!!
There were a couple of threads about TechShop back in April & Sept 2006.
Basically felt it was a fine idea but a risky business (a similar
thing had quickly failed here in MA). I wonder what made TechShop so
successful? And I wonder id all these other locations are franchises?
Famous last words: "It's not something that I'd invest in." (myself,
9/2006).
