Al, I started http://HighImpedanceAirGap.com/ about a year ago. It's a general makerspace that may be what you're looking for. We were at the Detroit Maker Faire with these projects: http://www.highimpedanceairgap.com/projects/animatronic-hand http://www.highimpedanceairgap.com/projects/bicycle-powered-jacobs-ladder http://www.highimpedanceairgap.com/projects/electronics-lab-trainer-from-1984 We normally meet at the East Lansing TIC over Barnes and Noble but January 11th we will be at the old Gunnisonville elementary school. A teacher in DeWitt is trying to establish a fabrication space similar to http://www.maker-works.com/ and http://www.techshop.ws/ and has asked for our input. http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/List_of_Hacker_Spaces /Ed
