MIG and TIG welding, plasma cutting, milling, lathe, laser etching,
embroidery, commecial-grade sewing, and more can all be done at
TechShop in Menlo Park -- http://www.techshop.ws.

They have one hour classes on all the above machines (and more).

The woodworking community workshop is The Sawdust Shop in Sunnyvale --
http://www.sawdustshop.com/. I've never been there but hear that it's fun.


The tape stuff is Rescue Tape -- http://www.rescueta pe.com/.
It's awesome stuff. I got mine at the bike show last year for a much
better price than is on their website; I think it's probably worth
waiting until the show to see if they have a booth again this year.
