Hi there, and Welcome to the Workshop! We are Michael and Brooke Denault and we love sharing our love of making with the rest of our Maker Community. Makers Workshop is a Makerspace in Massachusetts that includes a wood shop along with digital tools like CNC Routers, Laser Cutters, and a 3D Printer. At Makers Workshop we focus on projects that incorporate multiple processes and love sharing what we learn along the way to inspire you to make something too.
