Diy Workshop Hire?

[(B1) MR_fanny]

Hey all,

I posted this a while back, still havent had any luck and hoping someone might know something. I'm looking for a place in melb where I can hire out their equipped workshop on an hrly/daily basis to do my woodwork/metalwork projects.

Basic equipment like bansaws, lathes, mills, disc sanders, ect. vac form facilities would be great, mini spray booth. I had all this at the uni workshop at monash which was great. Really miss it when I come up with projects.

So if anyone knows of a place or similar, feel free to share.

Thanks in advance.

in case like this, i think its more who u know than what u no..

eg. i got friends panel beaters, cabnet makers, landscapers an so on, an i always f*k around on there tools, i have made a whole wall to wall t.v. entertainment set for my bedroom, i borrow my mates dingo (a strong shovle on 4 wheels) and landscaped my whole backyard, i change my own tyres at my mates tyre joint, and i no nothing about the above trades..

so maybe ask a mate thats in the same field as your in at uni, and from there some1 will no some1 who will no some1.. just an idea...

yeah it does seem to be all mates of mates things but I do clearly remember a melbourne arts doco where someone had the workshop for hire setup. that was way before the public liability thingo so it might have stopped not so long after that.

i finished uni ages ago. the workshop supervisor was great. he had a mate that had a setup at his property in the sticks and would allow some students to work there on their own personal projects. like you said mate of a mate thing. unfortunately I've lost contact with him.

managaed to find one woodwork place in williamstown that might offer something. will have to sus it out abit more.

In one of the jap car dvd's i have they were in a workshop where you could hire hoists per hour to do work.

i wonder how successful that would be in vic.
