DIYcave is a community of people just like you.
We are a community makerspace in Bend, Oregon made up of artists, makers, hackers, entrepreneurs, educators, and craft enthusiasts with various interests and skills. At DIYcave Makerspace, we provide the space, tools, equipment, and supportive community you need to create, build, collaborate, and learn new skills. You bring the ideas and materials—we’ll help you make it happen. All the skills needed to operate any of the equipment at DIYcave can be acquired through one of our many hands-on classes, workshops, tool certifications, or private lessons.
