They start around 7pm so you are welcome to come by and check it out then. The space is coming along slowly but surely. Made some great progress last weekend and will be finishing up a few things this weekend that will take us a notch upward.

Yes Dan Baker, the master mold maker, has been seen around with an R2 unit close behind. I’d like to give you his contact info here but it would violate our privacy policy. Just between you and me, it has been rumored he is a part of our Google+ Community page.

Hope to see you soon.

Would a person be able to stop by the location to see what all Chattlab has to offer to it’s prospective members? And also, is Dan Baker still in the business of mold-making? if so could I have has contact info? thank you for your time….. Jesse

We know the 4th floor guys well, and sometimes do joint projects. For example, our soldering workshop coming up: June 15th (Saturday) at 10 am at the Chattanooga Public Library, 4th floor.

They have a wonderful space and people there.

My wife and I drove down to the Atlanta Mini Maker Faire and drove all over GA Tech campus (even stopped several times to ask directons!) but were unable to locate it (our GPS was less than useful). Sorry that I am so late in replying. I follow your blog on feedly and had not been looking at the comments.

I am curious – have you any affiliation with 4th Floor?

This is Paul Sandin, co-inventor of Roomba. I am running a Kickstarter campaign called “Butler” to fund the production of a big low-cost mobile platform designed to make the creation of new types of mobile robots cheaper, faster, and simpler. I think you will find it to be a good starting place for mobile robot projects.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1108578/butler-a-big-powerful-inexpensive-research-robot-p

Please consider contributing to the campaign and/or sharing the Kickstarter link with others who you think might be interested in Butler.

I understand you are just getting started with your hackerspace. Good luck!

Thanks!
Sincerely,
Paul Sandin

Chatt*lab is an open field for Chattanooga folks to make it what they will. I hope others will feel free to step up and show us more things we just don’t know enough about. I so want a sharpening station after learning more about it. Now if we just had our electrical panel finished…

I had no idea there were so many Makers in Chattanooga. I believe a facility such as this would be an amazing way to get my (nearly) 4 year old daughter excited about art and creativity. I believe it’s really important to cultivate creativity in our children and I can’t wait until you guys open the doors.
