The experience

We are building a LARGE makerspace.
We have a lot of tools to be arranged and moved, sorted.
The space is several hundred square meters and will be one of the largest makerspaces in Finland.

btw This is not about video editing that was just the closest category the site had.

Program Details

We are in the process of building a big maker-space, fixing the floor, moving shelves, building shelves, moving machines and stuff.

Also we have some machines, if you have experience we may be able to use that.

Eg we have a ratrig cnc kit that has been assembled and is not working yet.
And for the really adventurous, a 30year old cnc that need a complete new controller :-)

Activities & Shift

The hours are very flexible, as long as the work gets done.

You must be very self motivated and organized as you will mostly work alone (under guidance) and have experience.

Rules

We are a vegetarian community (ie no meat/fish). We value the concept of Ahimsa (non- violence in action and talk), use no substances and only little alcohol.
