Inductions, bench hire and laser cutter time as separate things to book, because they are not the same hour and not the same price.
Online booking
Offer induction, bench and machine sessions around real workshop availability. A reserved workbench leaves the makerspace page immediately.
Learn moreOne live timetable
Put project blocks, laser time and machine closures on one workshop calendar, with the correct bench or machine on every entry.
Learn moreA taught session with a tutor and eight places, a space by the hour, and one machine everybody wants. Three products, three prices, one workshop.
A taught session holds what the tutor can supervise. When the places are gone the session comes off the page rather than quietly overfilling.
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.
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
Customers choose from makerspace bench blocks genuinely free, and the confirmed workbench session leaves circulation immediately.
Set the same makerspace bench weekly or monthly on Free, choosing when the familiar run comes to an end.
Protect the full booking and induction time while ordinary sessions carry on around it.
Put the hirer and dust extraction details together so the booking can begin as arranged.
Keep the organiser and project hire requirements on one record rather than rebuilding the visit from messages.
Prepare an itemised quote for the bench days, the machine hours and the materials.
Put a member on a free bench and what they paid and the sessions before it travel with them.
Close the exact window needed for machine closure, leaving every ready resource online.
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.
A member picks the machine, the hours and pays. It lands in the diary while the supervisor is still cutting something.
See workshop inductions, laser cutter time and machine closure together, with the actual resource attached to every entry.

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 the maker their bench, arrival time and dust-extraction notes by the time materials are carried into the workshop.
