What is an Institute?
An institute is more than two work tables with not enough floor space. A smattering of 2nd hand tools, a heater that's too hot and a fan that's never cool enough.
  • It's a place where because of your vision, what is GOING to be is more important than your crooked weld bead.
  • It's a place where you debate the best way to build a jig at top volume because everyone's wearing hearing protection.
  • It's a pace where you declare Samuel A. Jackson day because suddenly everything is mother#(@*#&* this and mother#$*@&#^ that (This is actually an honorific to Mr. Jackson, we constantly aspire to coolness).
It's a refuge from your job and your life. A place where you work REALLY hard to build something, just because you want to.

An institute is more than just a building, it's an IDEA!
