As FCW works to get all areas rebuilt after the fire, some areas are further along than others.\u00a0\u00a0 One of the expanded areas is Arts & Crafts.\u00a0 Spawned from the Stagecraft shop and light Fabrication labs at the old space before the fire,\u00a0 A&C, when completed, will have all of stagecraft (sets, props, costumes, efx, lighting, sound), 3d printing, lasercutting, and contain a model shop (metal, wood and plastic working), glass shop, art, photography\/videography,\u00a0 and VR.<\/p>\n

A significant portion of the model shop and fabrication is now operational.\u00a0 The model shop is for reasonably small items, large items should be built in the wood shop and metal shop.<\/p>\n

For metal working, A&C has a welder, bandsaw, small metal lathe, chop saw, and drill press. These will soon be joined by a desktop CNC mill and some sheet metal tools.<\/p>\n

For woodworking,\u00a0 A&C has a table saw, small jointer, and drill press, which will soon be joined by a sander, bandsaw, and miter saw.<\/p>\n

For fabrication, the shop just got in a Lasersaur laser cutter<\/p>\n

(courtesy of Dallas Makerspace) to join two small laser cutters previously donated.\u00a0 These will be set up over the next few weeks as exhaust ducts are installed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There is also a vinyl cutter and 3d printer operational in A&C.\u00a0 Other items being currently set up are sewing machines, an overlock machine, an industrial sewing machine, a vacu-former, and a powdercoat\/curing oven.\u00a0 This area is adjacent to the electronics shop (partially operational)and science center (under construction), both of which add additional capabilities.<\/p>\n
