If you like the idea of a Baton Rouge MakerSpace please subscribe or comment on this blog.
For now this blog is all there is so it helps to know who’s interested and it’ll let me reach you when things get going.
Thanks!
December Update
Posted by batonrougemakerspace in News on December 11, 2011
Sorry for the total lack of movement on this project on my part.
I’ve been in a weird employment situation- commuting to NOLA and another potential offer in limbo. Things are still pretty unstable right now but at least one of the big question marks has been removed.
Anyway, with any luck I’ll be able to schedule some kind of meeting in the January/February time-frame and start developing some short and medium term goals for establishing if not a permanent makerspace location then a regular meetup and ‘swap’ schedule.
So- that’s that. More to come!
In the meantime and as usual- keep making!

MakerSpace FAQ
Posted by batonrougemakerspace in News on September 29, 2011
What is a MakerSpace?
A MakerSpace is a community facility where inventors, tinkerers, designers, and ‘makers’ of all kinds can cooperate, collaborate, and share equipment, supplies, knowledge, and experience.
How would Baton Rouge benefit from a MakerSpace?
Baton Rouge is historically a place of creativity, ingenuity and industrious spirit. People here work well with their hands and have always made amazing things with very little. A Baton Rouge MakerSpace will help sustain and grow that spirit and infuse it with modern techniques and materials. The dissemination of technology has led us to a point where 3D design and printing, electronics prototyping, and advanced software development tools can be in anyone’s hands. The only limitation to our invention is how much support we give each other.
What is a SoutherNerd?
Posted by batonrougemakerspace in Musings on September 27, 2011
SoutherNerd is a word I made up to describe myself and anyone else who feels they would like to adopt this term to describe themselves.
It’s also a word I might print on some bumperstickers or t-shirts or something to raise pride for southern nerds, and to raise funds to get this maker space started.
Most importantly a SoutherNerd is a good friend to have around when something breaks.
Hello Baton Rouge Inventors, Tinkerers, DIYers, Kooks, Quacks, Nerds, Geeks, and e-Junkies.

Welcome to the wordpress site for the BatonRouge MakerSpace (aka. RedStick SkunkWorks)
Baton Rouge needs a Maker Space (or several), a salvage/parts store couldn’t hurt, and a community education center would be incredible. So that’s what we’re here to create.
