TechShop: gifts for DIYers

Our friend Dan Woods at TechShop (a growing chain of membership-based workshops) has some great DIY-based gift ideas. He says:

The folks at TechShop are pretty proud of the role the doors they've helped open for some of the independent makers who call TechShop home.

And even if you don't have the entrepreneurial itch, that's okay. Most of TechShop's members are citizen makers, students and hobbyists who join for the pure joy of making. With a continuous schedule of classes and workshops for all skill levels and access to every tool imaginable from Embroidery Machines to 4-axis milling machines, TechShop inspires, empowers and engages makers of all ages and interest.

TechShop has put together a super affordable gift bundle for makers and aspiring makers — one month membership plus two jumpstart classes for just $49! For details, visit TechShop
