@bristolhackspace.bsky.social christmas party was a great time, lots of creative crappy robots and a great atmosphere (if a little damp, at moments). Pictured here is myself trying to figure out why we had no audio. Not stressed at all. Don't check the alt text.

This gothic lantern was built in the space using our laser cutter and workshop facilities, with layered wood construction and LED lighting. A brilliant example of what happens when people have access to shared tools, time, and encouragement.

If in the future we had more space, What would you do with it? We want your ideas! If we gained more space, what new workshop or creative area would you love to see at the Hackspace? Share your dream additions below!

We’re proud to be a community built by our community for our community, where creativity and collaboration come together. We celebrate diversity and committed to fostering a inclusive environment where everyone can contribute fully. Each member plays a key part in creating a space that reflects this

I'm doing a lil presentation at this! That talk is sometime after 4pm but I'll be there all day talking about the hackspace and what we do, so come bother us!

Fix it, don't bin it! 🛠️⚙️ Bristol Hackspace will be at International Repair Day this Saturday, 18th October International Repair Day 2025 – Sparks Bristol share.google/o8Iv7BTR3XlV... We would love to chat to everyone, come say hi! 👋

Very busy but very successful weekend! One wall, multiple racks, and many many many trips to the dump later, we have our new storage area online and the main room cleared ready to be the new woodwork shop! Special shout out to Matt G for organising and being the driving force for this weekend.

🇪🇺🤖⚔️📅 bbb.gd/events - October in European Robot Combat is mega busy month all over Europe!

We've added an extra open evening per month! We're now going to be running open evenings every 1st and 3rd Thursday! Check out our 'visit us' page for more details bristolhackspace.org/visit

Asking the big questions this weekend, if you were attending a Halloween event at a hackspace, what would you want to see?

Random canvassing, what are you a nerd about?

Not sure if your tire tread is getting too shallow? Print yourself a handy Tire Tread Depth Gauge by VC Design – it lets you quickly check both summer and winter tires, and it’s small enough to keep on your keychain. 🔑 www.printables.com/model/136172...

It our open evening tonight! Despite the record number of sign ups on the open day, tickets still sold out fairly quickly. We're looking into increasing the frequency of our open evenings so please keep an eye on our "visit us" page and our ticketsource link!

Laser room (formally CNC room) has been rearranged and looks amazing. Don't worry, the CNC mill will return after we're finished playing musical workshops.

We now have a fediverse presence! You can find it and our other social media presence on our linktree, in bio or conveniently located for you here! linktr.ee/bristolhacks...

Another hour left to come down to our open day! Sorry for the lack of updates, we've been busy! We started the day with 80 stamp sheets, current count is 13, meaning we've had 67 people through the space today!

With the current number of reserved tickets sitting at 65, I'm going into overdrive to make keyrings today. We'll have more being produced on the day but this should be enough to tide over the initial horde. Hopefully people don't all turn up at 11...

It's time again for another Hackspace open day! This time we'll be using a Stamp Rally format to really let you explore the space. For more information please click through to bristolhackspace.org/open-day If you're an existing member, please check the forum for information on how you can help out.
