FAQs

What is the location like?

The woodshop is in a larger maker space. It's an exciting place were people make all kinds of things from 3d printing to soysauce.  Prepare to be covered in wood at some point.

What are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event?

Driving: There is free street parking on 19th Street. Please don't leave valuables visible and lock your vehicle.

Public Transportation: The nearest BART station is the West Oakland station. We can't offer a ride from BART, but you can grab a cab or rideshare service from the station. Easy Peasy.

How can I contact the organizer with any questions?
