Places are set aside for people to simple experiment, tinker, create. Often this is done collaboratively.</p> <p>I don&rsquo;t presently belong to one of these group hackerspaces. The nearest one to me is <a href="http://techshoprdu.com/">TechShop RDU</a>, which last time I checked costs about $100 per month to be a member. That&rsquo;s a pretty big recurring expense for a family man, and one that I&rsquo;m reticent to commit to. But I did take a welding class there once, and the facilities were most impressive indeed. If I ever end up making more money than I know what to do with, you can be sure I&rsquo;ll commit to a membership there.</p>
