Membership Dues + Shop Fees

Membership dues help fund TinkerMill and keep our space operational. 
Additionally, each shop will have fees for your shop time, certifications and classes, and use of consumables.
We are able to keep our monthly membership dues low because of our pay-as-you go shop fee system to support each of the shops. There is also cost for certifications to grant access to some tools and shops (one-time fees), and materials on hand. 
You can find a list of each of all the Shop Fees at the webpage linked here.
