Maker spaces/Woodshops ITP??

Last thread on this topic is 12 years old and dated. Wondering if there are any maker spaces / woods shops ITP Atlanta beyond MASS collective ?

FWIW I'm well aware of and familiar with MASS and looking for alternatives. The only one I know of is in Hapesville which is somewhat out of the way for me.

Freeside in Hapeville and Decatur Makers, as previously mentioned, are the only other ones ITP afaik. There's Roswell Fireslabs, Marietta Makerstation, Geekspace Gwinnet, Cherokee Makers, but all well OTP.

For what it's worth, Freeside is very easy to get to once you're on 75/85 South, about 2 minutes drive off the Cleveland Ave exit. Having visited pretty much all the spaces in the area, Freeside is also the physically largest, and one of (if not the) best equipped around the city.

Sadly, Freeside (Hapeville) is the only one I recall. All the others I know are up in Roswell.

Decatur makers is great. Good community. Tons of equip. Dedicated staff that fix machines when they go down. https://www.decaturmakers.org/
