Waterjet cutters are game changing.  You'll never look at a piece of metal the same way again.  Learn how to get what you want out of MakeHaven's waterjet from an expert in the field.  Joel has been using waterjets professionally since 2008.  There are things you can make on a waterjet that you wouldn't dream of milling. 

Places like the metalshop can feel difficult to get into and get comfortable. In this regular event, MakeHaven's women, trans, and femme members* are invited to join us to become familiar with the space and add some badges to your toolbelt.

In this class designed for Inkscape newbies, learn to build and edit an SVG using the free software Inkscape. SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) files are the file type used for our laser cutters and the base files for the vinyl cutter, plus they have many other applications.
