This weekend on May 5th in Simsbury Connecticut the Simsbury Public Library will be holding a mini Maker Faire!
Folks will be exhibiting crafting, mechanical, and other skills for your edification. Along with Tom and Chris from NESIT who will be bringing along machines to demonstrate and possibly a bit of science.
We’ll be open for our Maker Monday open house this October 23rd. Why not stop by the NESIT Makerspace at 290 Pratt St. Meriden, Connecticut and say “hi”!
Things are picking back up from the summer months. We just got in a collection of of classical computer equipment to put on display (thanks Bill!) and will be sorting it out over the next couple of weeks. Maybe Cobey will even write up a neat demo to run on one of the C64s or ZX Spectrum era computers!
Monday is open house night at NESIT Makerspace in Meriden, CT just off Rt 691 with convenient access from Hartford, New Haven, and all of central Connecticut.
What’s been going on? Tom and Sam have been at work readying their rocket for launch in the metal and wood shop. From this recent picture taken in the 3D printing area it looks like it’s almost ready to go!
Come by and check out NESIT! This Wednesday, June 28th, we’re once again open for our weekly open house. If you’re unfamiliar with the location please look here for directions, maps, and street shots of the building.

Assorted NESIT members are just back from the @Party held at the Artisan’s Asylum in Sommerville Mass.
What was happening? Inverse Phase was there giving an overview of “8-bit” style audio silicon. NMLStyle and StormBlooper traded off audio and video duties to put on an A/V concert.
And of course the composition competition occurred late in the evening with some interesting entries. The contents of which will hopefully be up on the @Party website in the future.
Stop by the NESIT Makerspace in lovely downtown Meriden, CT for our open house night. It’s starting to get warmer; we should be acquiring a metal lathe and a metal milling station once the weather settles and the mud drys out.
It’s been a bit underutilized so far but we’ve also got the open house listed on Meetup!
Ever wanted to manufacture the height of 17th century personal defense? Work a bouncing job and need a bit of extra protection? Puncture resistant gloves for working with electronics, animals, or construction? Maybe a bit of costuming?
You should make your own chainmail! Andrew of NESIT will be holding a workshop on making chainmail April 17th and 19th at NESIT Makerspace in scenic Meriden, CT. Come by and learn the modern art of creating your own metal mail fabric.
Andrew’s workshop on the art of crafting chainmail lead to the successful creation of chain mail cloth by quite a few folks in attendance. Using a simple jig to twist the wire into loops, cutting with a leveraged pair of snips, and properly connecting the links is all that’s required.
Sign up for the encore presentation on MeetUp and stop in to learn how the mail is made! NESIT will also be open for our usual Wednesday night open house hours.
