For several semesters, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with Vector Space—bringing my sculpture students into the metal shop to learn basic fabrication skills. What often begins as an introduction to tools and processes grows into something much bigger: a shift in confidence, a willingness to try, and a recognition that these tools—and this kind of making—are for everyone.

For eight years, Vector Space has proudly produced Maker Faire Lynchburg, bringing the curious minds of Central Virginia a feast of knowledge, creativity, and fun! For one spectacular day each year, Lynchburg comes alive with everything from trumpets that shoot fire to power tools that drag race, bananas that play synth sounds, and marble machines built in every direction imaginable.

Recently members came together to build a new forge for the Blacksmithing shop. Working off of plans purchased online, Elise Spontarelli and Chelsea Tinklenberg built the Apollo Forge. Made of 1/4" steel, the shell of of the forge was cut on the CNC plasma cutter. After a series of bending, refractory mixing, and welding, the forge was ready for assembly!
