Ever wished you had your own workshop? Well, Tangleball off Auckland’s Newton Road are happy to lend you theirs. This friendly community of makers, crafters, brewers, geeks, cyclists, artists - and even some ordinary people - has taken over a basement workshop and opened it up.
Behind the hallowed roller doors, lives a cornucopia of equipment from welders to silkscreen presses. Just as important though is the collection of brains. The community that works there enter the spirit of the thing and you’ll end up with plenty of useful advice.
If you want to give back, donations of gear, materials - and brains - are welcome. There’s a koha box for temporary users, and a weekly subscription for those who just keep coming back. Mind you, they do hold plenty of Open Days and special events going on. Keep an eye out for them at http://tangleball.org.nz !
