Hire The Brickyard: Brickyard Gigs

We have a lot of stuff.  We also have a lot of really talented people who know how to use it.  Want to get something done?  Want to try something out?  Take a look at “Brickyard Gigs” – a sourcing tool for you to get in touch with one of our members who’s a specialist in whatever you need.

Here’s a short list of what we can do:

  • Rapid prototyping with 3D printing, our laser cutter or our CNC router.
  • Wood and metal work – any project, from small to enormous.
  • Robotics, coding, electromechanical design and production
  • Finishing (paint spray booth)
  • Photography, video creation, editing, production
  • Electronics design and repair
  • Computer repair
  • Letterpress design and production
  • Micromanufacturing production runs
  • Piecework, assembly and fabrication

Some projects we’ve worked on:

We repaired a 1940s vintage variable speed motor for one of our letterpresses.  Here’s what that looked like when we tested it in the shop:

 

One of our friends needed a motor-driven “chandelier” – a hoist-operated lift to adjust his lighting in this studio, and make it easier to replace bulbs –

 

We have a full letterpress studio and the printmasters who know how to use it.  Have a letterpress project you’ve been wanting to tackle?  Take a look at some samples:

We have pretty impressive 3D printing capabilities as well – whether it’s a part you’ve found and downloaded, or you’ve designed, or you need us to design or modify, we can do it – here’s a custom phone case being printed:

 

Some of what we do is just free – we love making stuff, and we’ve done more than a few projects just because we have fun doing them.  Some are more commercial, and our members will “make for hire”.  Submit your project here, and see what we can do for you!  Brickyard Gigs

For a look at who we are, and what we’re able to do, take a look at our Maker Profiles, here: Meet the Maker (category)

Joining us at The Brickyard Collaborative doesn’t have to be a big commitment of time and money – maybe you need a laser cutter, but don’t have the time to learn how to use it?  That’s where we can help!  Drop us a line about your latest project today.
