I recently moved back to Akron after being in Canton for 4 years. I left a property with two acres and a large barn which means I had plenty of room for projects. Now that Im in a much smaller space I wanted to find some place where I could possibly borrow tools and have the room to work on my many ideas. I knew about the Akron makerspace and figured Id give it a visit. I was really blown away by the facilities they have. They have a good sized and well stocked wood shop, a very decent looking metal shop, welding facilities, and plenty of room for electronics laser cutting 3D printing and crafting as well as electronics. The price is right at $35 a month plus small additional costs for using the power tools. They also have plenty of potential to make the space even better as they continue to make improvements. Also, as a bonus there are two breweries downstairs! Its pretty hard to beat

Amazing place! Andy Buzcko & Bob Hasenyager facilitated an awesome tour of MakerSpace. Gives me great hope for folks in the area to have easy access to technology, training and tools which to millions of others is just a dream. Thank you to Andy, Bob & all others who make this facility and workshops possible.

Its the kind of place you wish existed when you were nine and had all those dreams of building treehouses and rockets and time machines. Only now it does exist and youre much smarter now so maybe you can finally build that time machine!Chock full of tools and machine and resources. People are very friendly, very respectful. This is truly an adult playground. My only complaint is that no one told me about it earlier.

A great group of dedicated folks with knowledge and the willingness to help each other. Lots of different kinds of tools are available as well as some materials, depending on what youre looking for. Lots of different classes -- welding, jewelry making, crafts, etc. The workspace is pretty messy, but... thats kind of what its there for: so I dont have to make a mess at home!

Great community-oriented place with pay-per-session, hands-on lessons, and a monthly membership fee if you need to work on any long-term projects. I learn something pretty much every time I go.

Love the place and the people that run it. they make the members and non-members feel welcomed and at home. also has the tools I dont have and teach me to use them when I am not sure

Found a great place to work with tools that I dont have at home.The members are friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful.Looking forward to learning to use of 3d printer to make some holders for my arduinos.

Fantastic place for the garage inventor and improver. All the tools and equipment you will need.

These guys are the best! Ive been a member about a month now, and Ive already learned to 3D print! Ive sanded a desk, and next up I plan to learn the CNC and welding equipment! There are plenty of talented people here who are willing to show you any skills they know if you just ask. Theres a monthly game night too.Come on down and visit. Theres something for everyone!

Wonderful place to learn and work. Been a member for a while and Ive never had a bad time here.

I was looking for a place to learn and share a hobby interest in micro-controllers and general electronics ... Oh but you can do that and so much more at Syn/Hak! Everyone I met was generous with their time and knowledge. If you are looking for a place to learn, or to share your knowledge, check out Syn/Hak. I think youll like what you see and become a member as I did.

This is an incredible place to learn just about anything you can imagine, and then do it! I have learned wood working, metal working, cnc design, and much more.

Great group of people that are friendly and eager to help. Good workshops and lots of open to the public events.

Love the space, Ive been a long time member. This space and its members have helped me to complete many of my long time waiting projects.

Cool people and geeky things. Need I say more?

SynHAK is a great place for makers to come together work on projects and share ideas with a strong focus on education.

Great place with a lot of cool stuff and good people.

Best place to make things and have help for when you get stuck. Everyone is so helpful you can always finish what you start.

I founded SYNHAK. Got banned from it three years later when I pointed out transphobic jerks on the board.They are *NOT* LGBT friendly or even trying to be inclusive. The folks here will harass you, require you get permission to do anything, and send you harassing text messages if they get your number.Stay far, far away from SYNHAK.

Perfect place to find a hobby
