Poorly maintained shop with some of the rudest staff I have ever encountered. I used the shop for two years because they do have the most woodworking tools, but in the end it wasn't worth dealing with their condescending, unhelpful, and quick to anger staff. I worked 8 yrs at MIT and recommend you check out other shops on campus. TheDeep, for example, is full of knowledgeable and helpful staff with extremely well maintained equipment. If you do end up using the hobby shop bc of woodworking, do not expect much from the staff, they clearly view students and learners as something other than their mission.

Great workshop with tools for woodworking, metal, 3d printers, and a laser. The shop is staffed by helpful and knowledgeable folks who care about your safety and project. Open to current and alum MIT students, the fee is a pittance compared to what you get.
