Hi everyone! My name's Al, and welcome to the Hack Shack.
Come and join me having fun while making things.

It's a place where things get hacked together, and learning goes hand in hand with creating. let's use wood, metal, electronics, food and any form of making to build crazy fun things.

Mistakes are welcome in The Hack Shack, and the more are made, the more we will learn, please feel free to join in and give advice and criticism as long as it's constructive.

This is a community project, and the aim is to help inspire people of all walks of life to make, create and hack stuff, so please treat others how you would like to be treated. Bullying will not be tolerated.

I'm a jack of all trades, master of none, which is oft-times better than master of one.

I also cook.

Hi Hackshackers. We did an interview with the amazing team at ‪@makerscentral‬ last May. The show may not be happening next month, but still can't wait to see what they have planned!
