Open to anyone in the area who is interested in developing video games. In order to have a little structure, we'll try to do a couple things each week:

Introduce new members. What have you worked on, game related or not? What do you want to work on next?

Discuss this week's conversation starter. Some article, video or game that we can dig into a little.

Members can present any games they're working on, for feedback or just to brag.

Of course, it's all very informal. The main goal is interesting conversation(s) about our passion.

Looking forward to it!

Saturday, September 9, 2017 at 10:00:00 AM The NEW HammerSpace Community Workshop 5200 E. 45th St., Kansas City, MO

**IMPORTANT: THIS IS A 2-DAY, 2-PART CLASS FOR SAT. 9/9, 10AM-4PM, & Sun. 9/10, 1PM-4PM

A crude, powerful anachronism for future tech. This bolt action, double triggered revolver is the preferred sidearm to officers assigned as high stakes "Blade Runners", uncovering and retiring rogue replicants who have escaped to Earth.

During this 2-day class, we will each build and finish our own Blaster replica. Working from a kit of 3D printed and CNC machined parts, we will file, fill, wet-sand, and paint to perfection.

Your final Blaster will feature a working bolt handle, swing out revolving cylinder, functioning triggers, and real wooden grips.

During this class, expect plenty of conversation about Ridley Scott and Harrison Ford's classic, and a screening in the background of a few of our favorite versions of the film.

We will be using sandpaper, spray paint, and body filler. Please wear clothes you are comfortable getting dirty in. This is an ALL WEEKEND class. We will meet from 10am-4pm on Saturday, then reconvene on Sunday from 1pm-4pm.

Sunday, September 3, 2017 at 4:00:00 PM The NEW HammerSpace Community Workshop 5200 E. 45th St., Kansas City, MO

Since so many of you got out your fancy photography equipment to get photos of the solar eclipse, we thought we would host this class again to give you a chance to print out some of those once-in-a-lifetime photos onto canvas... or any other photos or art you prefer. This class is NOT limited to eclipse photos only of course. That would be A LOT of black ink!

In this class we'll print the image of your choice on Canvas using the Large Format Printer then construct a Canvas Stretcher to mount it on. Student may want to bring their own Computer​ to the class and should be comfortable around Basic Woodworking Tools​ like drills, clamps, staple guns, and saws.

The cost of the class includes a 36 x 24 inch canvas print. If you would like to print something larger we are happy to accommodate you, but there will be a charge of $15 for each additional foot of canvas used.

In this two hour class we will cover:

● Selecting and preparing images to be printed

● Setting up the printer

● Printing your image

● Building a simple wood Canvas Stretcher in the Hammerspace Woodshop

● Mounting your Image on your Stretcher

If you are not a Hammerspace member, please arrive early so we can get you sorted out with a safety waiver and WiFi Password. We will be using woodworking tools and searching/downloading images online.
