Our Mission

We serve the community by unlocking the creative and productive potential of the individual.  We believe that given the right environment, education and tools, anything is possible.

Our Vision

We believe that a sustainable maker community must be built from the ground up by people like you.  Our vision includes 5 locations, 4 satellite locations ~5,000 to 10,000 sf each around loop 820, north, south, east and west and one larger location central to downtown ~15,000 to 30,000 sf.  Once the 4 satellite locations are self sustaining we will look for our final location in the heart of Fort Worth.  Obviously this will take time, the speed at which we bring this vision to fruition depends entirely on the support we receive from our local maker community.  If you share this vision please consider becoming a member.

We had a great time with Aaron during our welding class. He showed us what to do, gave clear instructions, gave us plenty of practice, great encouragement and tips along the way. 10/10 would recommend.

After having failed again at trying to teach myself to weld, I found getting a class for a hobbyist wasn't easy. Finally, I found Aaron and the Tarrant County MakerSpace. I am so glad I did.From the first communication, Aaron was great. After I signed up for the Saturday MiG class, he sent a series of links to videos covering the basics. The he called to make sure we were on the same page and I was prepared. When the day arrived, I knew enough to understand what we were doing.The class was set up near perfectly and the project, a charcoal grill, was very well designed to reinforce the stuff we covered in the morning. By the end of the day, my off-hand welds look better than my best attempts before the class with my strong hand. I left with a grill, the understanding how to do basic welds, and the confidence that these would hold.I can't recommend this class strongly enough.

Aaron is a great guy and instructor. My son and I really enjoyed his class. We learned a lot about stick welding and got to bring home a really cool grill. I highly recommend taking the course if have an interest in learning how to weld, but don’t want to go to welding school.
