Hi there! It's Poppy, one of the many shop dogs you'll find greeting people at the front. You've probably also met my sister Lilly.

I particularly enjoy making sure packages arrive and get to the right location. You'd be surprised by the amount of stuff it takes to run the shop. 

I spend a lot of time up at the front desk, and get to hear a lot about what is and isn't working right. The Laser Cutter has helped launch so many businesses, but one of them needs some replacement parts. The Planer has probably helped make more cutting boards and dining room tables than most will see a lifetime, but it's loud! There are some upgrades to it that would make it quieter, and reduce the downtime when someone runs a nail through it.

My buddy Alice says the giant 4' x 8' cutting mat in the textiles area is due for a replacement, Ruby would love to see the fancy new donated 3D Printers online soon, and Bailey agrees that the Planer is way too loud!

All of this takes time and money, I would really love your help. Here's to new tools, safer equipment, and a welcoming space for thousands more people in 2025!
