Tools and work spaces are the very first things that most people are looking for when working on projects. When ideas become more advanced, additional resources are needed for design, production and promotion. This page attempts to capture all resources in the greater Keweenaw area related to such needs that our members may have.

== Hand tools and specialized tools ==
The [[Quincy Garage]] attempts to provide capabilities for makers to accomplish their projects, and stocks many [[Tools]]. Sometimes, the available tools at the Garage just aren't enough.

* For work on airplanes, [https://pasty.com/~eaa1270/ chapter 1270 of the Experimental Aviation Association] is located at the airport and has monthly meetings.
