FAQ's
It seems expensive.
How much a month do you spend on tools you will use only once and paying tradesmen parts + labour?
Our full access membership is just £80 and you can complete any job at any time of any day. No more rip-off prices or long lead times. From day 1 we wanted The Machine Shop to be different from the norm and offer an amazing service at a great price. The Machine Shop offers £25,000 worth of industrial metal working machinery, automotive machinery and equipment for less than buying a girl dinner and a movie.
What kind of stuff can I do in THE-MACHINE-SHOP?
You tell me, Kemosabe. The question is what can't you do? Use our sand blaster and spray booth to restore your old banger. Make a billet aluminium phone stand for your desk. Weld up a pannier rack for your motorcycle adventure or service your Moms car for her birthday. There is no limit to what members create, renovate and innovate.
Is there a limit on time I can spend at THE-MACHINE-SHOP
You may stay as long as we're open and if you're running behind on your project we are very accommodating and can stay open longer. However, a fair usage policy does apply to all machines that use consumables. Eg MIG welders and sand blasters.
Is it safe?
Of course! Every member will receive full induction training on each tool before their allowed to use it. Training is provided by our experienced staff and each step detailed in a manual. You will be supervised until deemed safe to use the tool on your own.
Can I store my project at THE-MACHINE-SHOP
We have limited spaces so be quick!. Free storage Monday to Thursday and £5 per night Friday-Sunday.. Subject to availability and terms. Just don't dump your never ending project on us.
How much does it cost?
The cost is determined by the level of subscription you would like to progress too. Bronze for basic hand tools, facilities and inductions. Silver for more tricky bits like electric drills, parts washers and welders. Gold for full access to every tool on the equipment list.
