Alexander Griffin - Workshop and Electronics Lab
I started collecting large power tools as I was developing a business in making and selling
Hammered Dulcimers. This was before Maker Spaces were
in vogue. Even to this day, I prefer to have my own tools than have a membership at a
Maker facility. There's no restrictions on hours, and I always know the tools are in working order.
Below I listed the equipment I own or have owned. There are things on the wish-list like
a laser cutter, a plasma cutter and a CNC router... but these are on hold for now.
