Tuesday night is Social Night from 19:30. Recently we've added a few more crafting things: a dedicated printer for dye sublimation inks to use with our heat press and a Cricut to complement our large roll fed drag cutter.

Just before the year is out: It's gearmotor time for antweights: We've restocked on all N10s and now offer them in 1500rpm too! We also restocked high power N20s in 1500rpm & 1000rpm at a new lower price and also in 100rpm for a crazy torquey weapon option! Check them out: bbb.gd/ashop
