Brothers & Sisters in The Trades...

For far too long the Trades have been disrespected.  The College Industrial Complex wants it all.  Harvard should remember that when they need a plumber or HVAC... 

People are starting to realize there is good pay and opportunity for growth in the Trades.  But it is going to take a while to make up for those years of neglect.

​Good help is hard to get. Heck, even bad help is too.  Rather than complain, we need to fix it. That's what the Trades do - we fix things!

Help Us Help You!

Teach With Us!

We'll have a full wood shop, machine shop and much more.  Share your skills with the community.

Who is inspired?  Who is showing some skills?  Talk is cheap and anyone can fake their way through a job interview.  Let's see what they can do!

Trade Ya!

Once we sign the lease on our new space we've got shops, studios & offices to build!
​
Help us Make Our MakerSpace!

Donate your time and some materials and we'll bring you makers!

You'll share your skills and knowledge and you just might find that new employee you need!

They Don't Know They Can!

Voc-Tech education is transformative.  But the trades have been ignored so long - there are tons of young people who never took advantage when they were in school.

Many are wasting away in low-paying, dead-end jobs - often with lots of college debt for that promised career that never materialized. 

​Your new employees are closer than you think, they just don't know it yet.  Help them discover that they are the ones we have been waiting for!
We need volunteers to be shop managers. 
It is not as scary as it sounds. 
We want people who know the equipment.
We want you to help us chose what to get
​and share your knowledge with the community!

You'll find it feels good. You were born to build! 
​Help build the next generation.  We can't do it without you!

    I want to help people build dreams!

    This is just between us... We won't share your info without your permission. We will use your email only for contact and to keep you up to date on Franklin Gear MakerSpace!
    We won't share your information without your permission...we won't try to sell you an extended warranty for your car either!

    Want to check more than one item... that's cool with us!
    What is your passion. What makes you want to get out of bed in the morning!
