but ran like a gym. We replaced the tread mill with a metal mill and the smiths machine with a welding machine. You can have a day pass, a months pass or a membership.
Whether you're new to engineering or a professional we have all the equipment you could want. Check out our equipment list.
Our opening times are set to accommodate the normal person who works a 9-5 and likes to enjoy their passions in the evenings and weekends. We are open until 11pm every night of the week.
We offer a range of welding classes to suit most needs. They're super informal and great fun. We teach you what you want to learn by looking at your end goal and replicating it within the class to give you the best chance. Think of it as a one-on-one welding bootcamp.
We also have other fun classes and you don't need a membership to do them.
The-Machine-Shop has a very friendly, easy-going atmosphere and it can be a great place to meet other DIY Engineering enthusiasts.
Our customer base is primarily made up from the surrounding automotive factories and design offices but we also have a lot of racers not to mention hobbyists too.
At THE-MACHINE-SHOP we like to throw social events every now and then as we believe it's a great way to get people socialising and establishing new connections, making our motor-sports and engineering community bigger and stronger.
We also like to make appearances at different festivals and events where we can be doing anything from simply flyering to racing bikes, drifting cars or giving free welding demos on the spot. Just look out for the big Black & Yellow MACHINE-SHOP tent!
Our staff is primarily made up of engineers, technicians and fabricators from the surrounding automotive factories and design offices . There is a huge knowledge base here and asking stupid questions is encouraged.
Bob is our welding and fabrication instructor.
There really isn't much that he can't build or fix (after he broke it first...).
He's been building bikes for quite some time.
Bob previously managed a team of fabricators who made race bike tanks and chassis ridden by the likes of Josh Brookes, Davo Johnson, Peter Hickman, John McGuiness among
