Record growth and we are moving!
By jim on
Old-timers will remember Hive13 started way back in June of 2009 when 12 members started renting 3,5oo sq.ft. of space at 2929 Spring Grove Ave. By February 2017 we'd grown to 64 members and added an adjacent 600 sq.ft. of annex space. Today we are at 97 members and are busting at the seams!
We've been looking into ways to expand, and have reached a decision. We are "Getting Down" and "Moving Up". A nearby property (down the street) at 2701 Spring Grove Ave. has come on the market and we are moving in (up on the 3rd floor) to a newer, bigger, and better space.
We are starting a five-year lease with 7,000 sq.ft. and options to expand to 11,500 sq.ft. or a mind-boggling 17,500 sq.ft. of continuous space overlooking the beautiful CSX Queensgate freight yard in our lovely Camp Washington neighborhood.
This link [ Hive13 is moving to 2701 Spring Grove Ave! ] points to an on-line, 14-slide, virtual tour and introduction to the new space, at this early point. Pay attention to the last slide #14. We need everyone's participation to help make it happen and be out of 2929 Spring Grove on May 31, 2020.

Tuesday, September 10, 7:30 pm - Discover Blue Hell Studio at the Hive
By jim on
Makers make using different materials. A very special group of makers make using hand-forged metals. They are called blacksmiths.
Join us on Tuesday, September 10 at 7:30 pm when blacksmithing and steel fabrication shop owner Christopher Daniel talks about his Blue Hell Studio School of Blacksmithing and Steel Fabrication. Chris has been working in steel for 28 years and creates unique, one of a kind steel furniture, railings, gates, and sculpture.
His introductory-level talk will provide an overview on tools and techniques, include some show-and-tell examples and wrap-up with an informal Q&A discussion.
Members, guests, first-time-walk-ins, and all those interested to learn more are welcome to come to hear his talk. Come early to see our space, meet folks, and check things out. Find Us.
Laser Certification July 7th 2:00-4:00
By Brad Walsh on
Get certified on the laser cutter July 7th 2:00-4:00 so you can cut/engrave cool stuff.
Wiki page: https://wiki.hive13.org/view/Big_laser_cutter
Laser principles and safety along with basic operation. We won't go into the not-so-awesome software that drives the laser (that would be a 3 hour class itself) but you will get enough to get started.
