Hi Luciana,
Welcome to our community. Sounds like a fun project.
South London Makerspace is indeed a collaborative workspace, but we emphasise the community aspect as we’re run entirely by volunteers.
If you’re free next Wednesday, 31st May from 7pm - 9pm, we’re having an Open Evening where you’ll get a tour of the Makerspace and see the wood workshop with all the tools. Woodworking is very popular at SLMS and the beauty of a Makerspace is that if you ask nicely, you’ll probably get help.
However, we are not a paid service or a workshop for hire. A membership gives you access to the tools and the space, but in order to make the most of it, being an active member of the community is what will give you the best experience.
See you at the Makerspace,
Mark
