Blender busted? Computer kaput? Weedeater wrecked? Whatever’s broken, don’t let it keep gathering dust in the corner – bring it down to the workshop, each Wednesday from 5:30 to 7:30! Use the tools and facilities of the shop and pick our librarians’ brains to get your damaged equipment back in the action.

Availability is first-come-first-served. This workshop is provided free of charge, though donations are appreciated!

We ask that all items brought for repair be of reasonable size. We are unable to service pressure vessels, refrigeration equipment, firearms, and high-voltage electrical components.

We are on the lookout for folks who might like to volunteer with our organization.

Do you have a knack for troubleshooting and repairing household small appliances, lamps, hand and power tools, furniture, bicycles or clothing and other fabric or leather items? Do you think you might enjoy using your skills to help others solve their fix-it problems? If so, please consider volunteering with us. We don’t ask volunteers to make a long-term time commitment. Participation is on an as-can, as-want basis and we strive for a friendly, relaxed, low-pressure feeling at our events. If you know someone who’s not on our mailing list and might enjoy volunteering with us, please encourage them to come by one of our Second Saturday events and check us out.

Bring in any broken or item that you can comfortably carry. If we can, NW Free Repair will fix if for FREE!

The Bellingham Makerspace is proud to host the NW Free Repair group on the 2nd and 3rd Sunday of each month!
