Keep every induction time clear
Put project blocks, laser time and machine closures on one workshop calendar, with the correct bench or machine on every entry.
Learn moreAn induction is not an hour at a bench.
A taught session with a tutor and eight places, a space by the hour, and one machine everybody wants. Three products, three prices, one workshop.
Inductions have a size
A taught session holds what the tutor can supervise. When the places are gone the session comes off the page rather than quietly overfilling.
The laser cutter is the constraint
Everybody wants the one machine. Booking it by the hour as its own thing is what stops the queue forming around a bench nobody needed.
Bench 4, not "a bench"
Each bench is bookable in its own right, so closing one for a repair leaves the rest of the workshop online instead of shutting Saturday.

Built for your workshop
Built for every kind of workshop booking
Bench induction sessions
Put the makerspace bench online at the price and length you set. Once confirmed, the exact workbench leaves the page before it can be promised twice.
Casual workbench hire
Repeat the same makerspace bench weekly or monthly on Free, stopping on the last date the familiar arrangement is meant to run.
Laser cutter time
Protect the full induction time window while genuine availability around it stays open.
CNC router bookings
Keep the organiser, dust extraction and setup notes together so the person opening up is not rebuilding the job from messages.
Woodworking classes
Close only the resources needed for the complete project block, leaving everything unrelated available.
School holiday builds
Start a project block with an itemised quote for bench days, machine hours and materials.
Changed project days
Move a member to a different bench and the payment taken and the hours agreed move with them.
Machine maintenance closures
Block the exact period needed for machine closure, reopening the resource only when it is ready.
Eight places, and it holds.
When you teach the induction rather than hire the bench out, the number of places is the number of stools, and the page stops selling at it.
Booked without asking anyone.
A member picks the machine, the hours and pays. It lands in the diary while the supervisor is still cutting something.

One app for every booking
Everything you need to run your workshop hire business.
One machine, one booking
The laser cutter is one machine. A booked hour leaves the page at once, so two members are never sent to the same bed at the same time.
Email reminders
Email the maker their bench, arrival time and dust-extraction notes before materials are carried into the workshop.
