OT: Workshop in San Jose to media blast, drill, sand, etc

[dma]

This is driiving me crazy. A couple of years ago there was discussion on this board about a public shop where you could get a membership that gave you access to sand blasters, wood working tools, etc.

The posting mentioned that one was going to open in San Francisco, but can't recall the name of it? Searching didn't help.

Anyone remember the name?

Thanks

There u go dude!

Its pretty fricking cheap if u think about it.

Especially if ur a student like me !

The downside if you ALREADY know how to use the tools you still need to take a class from them to use the machinery.

Thank you Frenchee. That's it. Since I'm back in grad school for another grad degree I can get the student membership at 75 bucks. That is a great deal.

Wheel media blasting, here I go.

aahh...!!!! another reason i wish i still lived in SF. I'd practically live at a place like that...

I have so much stuff i need blasted, welded, etc...

and i am running out of garage space for a blasting cabinet, a welder, etc...

Josh,

I'm so with you. Looked at having 5 wheels blasted and the cost was $300 plus. Even if I only used the day pass of $25 bucks I could blast the wheels with professional quality devices and spray them in the paint room with professional quality devices. Good deal. I'm sure I need the monthly membership though :-)

This is one of those rare times when it actually pays to live outside of CA.

The professional shop I use charges between $12-$15 per 13" wheel, and that is for aluminum oxide blasting.
