Tim Eldergill: What’s on Lichfield

6May (2021)

Hello Everyone,I have been looking at trying to start a community project in Lichfield, similar to a makerspace. I would invision it running like a library, where you gain a free pass and are able to use the services such as 3d printers, CNC machines and also woodworking tools and metalworking tools. Where people come get together to learn from one another, share ideas and interests. And collaborate.What do you think?Thanks!

• Brilliant idea
• Wonderful idea!
• Great idea, I have a similar dream of a community kitchen. Should I win euro millions (yeah, right) I have the old Windmill pub converted into a community Crafts, Kitchen and Arts space. Any millionaires out there?
• Love it I’d sign up I teach various crafts.
• Me too.
