Looking for OPEN Fab Lab co-founder in Helsinki

[Sangdth]

My name is Sang, a designer, father of 2 sons and a passionate person who love to combine technology and art. I'm looking for co-founder, to build an OPEN FabLab in Helsinki. Target users are hobbyists, artists, and anyone who love to create stuff by himself.

"A fab lab is a small-scale workshop offering digital fabrication. A fab lab is generally equipped with an array of flexible computer controlled tools that cover several different length scales and various materials, with the aim to make "almost anything"...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fab_lab

We have only one fab lab in Helsinki, call Aalto Fablab, they only open for people on one day per week, and you should register before. Mostly they support for their Aalto students only. That's why I want to build a fab lab that's really open, I mean open every working day and free to use for everybody. If you take a look at my Tumblr blog, http://openfablab.tumblr.com you will see a laser cutter is under construction. I've done one hobby CNC milling machine, and when the laser machine is finished, I will build a 3D printer.

So, if you are interested in, just drop me a letter via sangdth at gmail dot com or ping me @sangdth on Twitter, we will make it come true. All you need is a little knowledge of Arduino, electricity, some basic programming like C, and a big love of creating something by your hands.

Let's go!

Have you contacted Helsinki Hacklab? I would guess that would be the easiest way to find people interested in your project. http://helsinki.hacklab.fi/

Just update it because we are still looking for people interested in this project.

First, I have to say thank to all of you who are interested in my idea. I got 50+ messages, a lot of offers and in the end, we had 3 brilliant guys on board. We've done a lot of meeting, made a lot of decisions and the business model changed too much far from the beginning.

Right now we are working hard to make this idea comes true. So I'm glad to announce that we have to stop looking for co-founder. But don't worry, we are still looking for potential partner. Don't hesitate to contact me at sangdth (at) gmail.com for more information.

Best regard.
