In the workshop, we have a good range of tools, new and second-hand parts for you to use. We have set prices for parts, and we ask for 5 Euro per hour donation to cover the costs of running the workshop and buying tools.
We have limited spaces for users to work on their bikes, so please be aware we can get busy. There are limited spaces indoors and more spaces outside, so weather can affect what we can offer.
There is no shade or shelter in the car park. In case we don’t have space indoors, please bring whatever you need to be comfortable outdoors.

Do you like to make things? Would you like to use 3D software, lasercutter and 3D printing to help you make your idea?
TOG has an open evening to learn how CAD software and 3D fabrication tools can help you make your project.
All you need to take part is your own laptop and some ideas on what you want to make.
This is not a taught class, more like an informal working group of self-directed makers.
We will be happy to help you explore how to use our 3D tools in designing and making your project whether you are a crafter, designer, engineer or hobbyist.
Come and have a look at the tools in our space and get some ideas on how your project can be made.

Who it’s for?
Anyone who wants to help out their community by creating more cyclists! You just need to be curious about bikes, you do not need to know anything about mechanics! (sure I didn’t have any before I joined and now I’m hosting these meetups!)
This is also a good meetup if you want to help us find donated bikes, recipient organizations, or general logistics of delivery. You can help without touching a single bike if that’s your speed!
What to bring?
Clothes you do not mind getting dirty
Comfy shoes, you will be standing-walking on a wooden floor.
How it works

Get an orientation on the shop, where tools are, how we match bikes to recipients, and how we set up for the day.
Grab a bike and put it on the stand! Learn how we assess newly donated bikes for repair and what the parts of the bike are called.
Tinker! If you’re experienced, you could probably jump right in on fixing what’s broken. If you’re not, we got you covered! We’ll teach you the basics and make sure you’re doing things right
Clean up for the day
