Funds are a little tight right now and that means its time for a fundraiser! On Sept 21 we will be running the $5 Chop Shop! The public is invited to bring in their wood or metal items and we’ll be available to cut them down to size or drill whatever holes are needed. $5 per item. We’ll also be putting out all manner of cool things that our makers have made and will have them for sale. If you are interested in having stuff out on a commission basis, please reach out to me (Lex). Please share widely with your community! Flyers are available at the front desk. > **[$5 Chop Shop: A Lansing Makers Network Fundraiser](https://www.facebook.com/events/1671005633585766/)** > > Event in Lansing, MI by Lansing Makers Network on Sunday, September 21 2025 If you are interested in volunteering that day, either to help with making cuts or to give tours, please reply here.

Unfortunately not, but this guy has done a bunch of my kitchen knives and tools and I’ve been impressed with his work. > **[Home | Hometown Hone](https://hometownhone.wixsite.com/hometownhone)** ---
