Additionally spaces support welding(MIG,TIG, and stick welding), stained glass work, and blacksmithing, along with areas for leatherworking, sewing, and other crafts.

History

FamiLAB was founded in 2009; the makerspace was originally in a 400-square-foot location before relocating to a 4,000-square-foot warehouse after a member offered them a deal on the lease.[1][8]

In 2017, FamiLAB members attended the Global Community Bio Summit, hosted by the MIT Media Lab.[9]

The Orlando Maker Faire originated from Makers in FamiLAB.[10][11]
