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
Workshop inductions
Show the makerspace bench time genuinely open; confirmation removes that workbench before another hirer can choose it.
Casual workbench hire
Carry the same makerspace bench weekly or monthly on Free through the run, then end it on the agreed final date.
Laser cutter time
Hold the full induction time together while ordinary time around it remains available.
CNC router bookings
Reserve the right resource and dust extraction details together rather than sorting them out when everyone arrives.
Woodworking classes
Put the organiser and project block needs on one booking for a clean handover.
School holiday builds
Send the itemised quote for bench days and laser cutter hours before the block is held.
Changed project days
Shift a member to a workable bench with what they paid and their earlier sessions attached.
Machine maintenance closures
Take only the necessary time offline for machine closure, leaving every ready resource live.
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 ahead of materials are carried into the workshop.
