⚡ What does 35,000 volts do to a Haribo bear? We found out. One of our members built the Cockcroft Walton Multiplier kit from @ExtKits@mstdn.social — an electronic Van de Graaff, all through-hole soldering, very beginner-friendly. Follow, Like & Share so more people find out about the space!

From a flat sheet of copper to a hand-made bowl. 🔨🥣 While East Essex Hackspace was out in force at #EMF2026, I managed to grab a place on a coppersmithing workshop with Urban Crafts Foundation. #HeritageCrafts #CopperSmithing #Maker #Metalworking #Craftsmanship

We're running a Repair Café 10:00-13:00 today at the Hackspace.

🎉 Welcome Sandrina, our newest Trustee! She joined via a repair café, got hooked, and now builds robots and gets stuck in across the whole space. Usually in Tues/Weds, go say hello 👋

A quiet way to remember someone special. Local boy Henry Hall was just 6 when he passed away. For what would have been his 8th birthday, a tree has been planted at Hawkwell with a custom plaque. A small, lasting tribute made with care. 🌈🌳 #HenryHall #InMemory #TreePlanting #Memorial #UKMakers

While members were representing the Hackspace at a District Council meeting last night, some work got done on our long-running shared Hacky Racer project. This is testing the 'state machine' for safe operation and differential mixing of the two drive motors when steering.

Tuesday night means Social Night from 19:30 at EEH but It'll be a quiet one as many members and Trustees are off to a District Council meeting where they are debating our bid for bigger premises. There will be at least one person around though if you'd like a tour/induction.

We were out on Hockley High Street promoting the Hackspace today. Not huge footfall given it was a sunny Saturday but we still managed to talk to lots of people who showed interest in what we do.

Member Iain was getting familiar with our Cricut last night. He has plans to build up a design using many layers of leather into a 3D relief. This will also involve using our 3D scanner to scan the original object. The Cricut did really well with the 1mm leather he tried.

It's Tuesday so Social Night at the Hackspace from 19:30 and potentially safety inductions from 20:00 if you're looking to join up. Pop down and see what we get up to.

Member Stuart is experimenting with turning wood/resin "eggs" on the lathe today. This has wood placed in a 3D printed mould of roughly the right shape, filled with resin then turned down removing the mould. This apparently saves a lot of resin, which is much more expensive than 3D printer filament.

Spring appears to be springing in Hawkwell and tonight it's also the Hackspace AGM from 20:00. Note this means there won't be time for the usual member general inductions.

Member Sunel has been busy creating this beautiful fused glass art at the Hackspace. The glass pieces were cut on our Wazer waterjet into intricate shapes that would be incredibly difficult by hand. They were then arranged and kiln fused to create these vibrant designs full of colour and light.

It's Tuesday and that can only mean one thing: Social Night at the Hackspace from 19:30. I've been away a couple of weeks so don't know what anybody's plans and projects for today are but pop down to see what we down if you fancy it.

Trustee Nick visited the @raspberrypi.com store today and picked up a couple of Pico 2W to use in the Hacky Racer motor controller. We had a Pico W but felt like updating and having a spare.

This coming Tuesday 17th February we're running another Social/Induction evening at the Hackspace. We also plan to fire up the pancake machine so there will be automated pancakes available as well as the usual tea/coffee and biscuits.

Sometimes we get people asking if we can fix/make/modify things. It's not a 'service' we can guarantee but luckily last night member Matt had time to help somebody with a clothes rail which wasn't tall enough for long dresses. They'd bought longer poles that didn't fit and Matt was able to oblige.

Sometimes you can augment old techniques with new equipment. Member Dan wanted to engrave a pint glass so used the Cricut at the Hackspace to cut out some stencils from some stencil film, then applied glass etching cream.
