It’s all about fit. Fuse33 is a really good fit for me. The creative collaborative community supports various makers that contribute to one another. Often, while working on my projects, I am asked for woodworking advice and in turn, I receive support with things that I’m still learning more about. This support allows my work to achieve a higher level and reach a wider audience. 

Working in my garage alone can be too isolating and I appreciate the collaborative community of creative makers. The diversity of talented and creative folks at Fuse33 contributes to the overall positive social nature of the space.

Recently, with the encouragement of other Fuse33 members, I was a contestant on a North American wide DIY online competition in support of the American Lung Association. Although I didn’t win, I maintained first place for more than 3 weeks in my group. 

Fuse33 is a great space for me to create and make things for myself, family, friends and customers. The range of equipment has expanded my offerings and I was able to design and built a unique bed frame for my daughter and her husband, create unique coffee tables for each of my children and start a series of end tables and a one-of-a-kind cutting board using scavenged and repurposed wood, all made at Fuse33. Now, my to-do list is ever expanding!

Places like Fuse33 are very important additions to the community. They provide opportunities for people to learn and express themselves.
