4/ Past makers (@jeffemmett@OrionReedOne@FelixFritsch2) have left behind intricate puzzles, a scale model of the Hirschwang valley, and a few objects we still cannot fully explain. Bring the half-formed idea. The lab is the excuse. 🛠️
3/ Week two of Valley of the Commons (31 Aug – 6 Sep) goes deeper into commons-based production. The fab lab is young — before it scales, or gets a space of its own, it has to sustain itself, by finding the niche products that fit real local needs.
2/ A 3D printer, a laser cutter, and prototyping workstations — for the governance mechanism you would rather hold than diagram, the puzzle you have been sketching, and the strange little object that only makes sense once it is real.
With hours to spare, we filled the trench with soil, stones, and the critical warning tape that power lines are below! In the end it's not looking too bad. Of course we'll continue to beautify the area from here.
sauna hacking continues in part 3 of our Hack the Hub 2026 series.
Special thanks again to our master carpenter and builder Elias for this beautiful work in progress!
